摘要
This paper shows the mathematical models which represent the phenomena that occur in a neutron activation process. These phenomena are, on the one hand, the neutron flux decreases with the distance between the neutron source and the sample, and on the other hand, the attenuation of the gamma rays originating from the sample activated on its way to the detector position. The development of the mathematical model has been divided into two parts. Firstly, the phenomena are shown separately. Secondly, the phenomena are shown together. Finally, this model is fitted to the neutron activation of a fluorspar sample, and the influence of the two phenomena as defined above can be seen.
