Upgrade and Expansion of Gamma Ray Counting Laboratory Used for Neutron Activation Analysis

该奖项为购买设备提供资金，用于将两个新的锗探测器（由奥本大学获得）连接到奥本大学Leach核科学中心的伽马射线计数系统。奥本的伽马射线计数系统主要用于地质样品的中子活化分析，新的探测器和计数系统将使实验室能够检测和分析具有低能光峰的活化元素。

This award provides funds for the purchase of equipment that will be used to interface two new germanium detectors (obtained by Auburn University) to a gamma ray counting system at the Leach Nuclear Science Center at Auburn University. The gamma ray counting system at Auburn is used primarily for neutron activation analysis of geological samples, and the new detectors and counting system will make it possible for the lab to detect and analyze for activated elements with low energy photopeaks.
