Method of Lithium Concentration Measurements in Glass Samples Using the exp 7 Li(p,n) exp 7 Be Reaction

摘要

An experimental method of lithium content determination as a function of the depth in glass samples is described. The method uses the nuclear reaction exp 7 Li(p,n) exp 7 Be induced by 2 MeV protons accelerated in the cyclotron. The prompt neutron yields was a measure of lithium content. Obtained results of the lithium concentration distribution versus depth for a few investigated glass samples are given. (Atomindex citation 09:371662)
