Application of LSNAA for Inhomogeneous Bulk Archaeological Samples and Bulk Objects

Large Sample Neutron Activation Analysis (LSNAA), a non-destructive analytical technique, is comparable to the more established Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and can be used for the analysis of larger objects more accurately. This is the conclusion of the four-year coordinated research project (CRP) “Application of Large Sample Neutron Activation Analysis Techniques for Inhomogeneous Bulk Archaeological Samples and Large Objects”, and is summarized in the publication “Advances in Neutron Activation Analysis of Large Objects with Emphasis on Archaeological Examples - Results of a Coordinated Research Project, IAEA-TECDOC-1839 (2018)”. This publication features LSNAA methodologies and case studies developed during the CRP.
