Neutron activation analysis of the 30Si content of highly enriched 28Si: proof of concept and estimation of the achievable uncertainty
Giancarlo D'Agostino, Giovanni Mana, Massimo Oddone +3
We investigated the use of neutron activation to estimate the 30Si mole fraction of the ultra-pure silicon material highly enriched in 28Si for the measurement of the Avogadro cons…
Use of Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis to investigate the distribution of trace elements among subsamples of solid materials
Giancarlo DAgostino, Luigi Bergamaschi, Laura Giordani +3
The results of analytical measurements performed with solid-sampling techniques are affected by the distribution of the analytes within the matrix. The effect becomes significant i…
Instrumental neutron activation analysis of an enriched 28Si single-crystal
G. DAgostino, L. Bergamaschi, L. Giordani +2
The determination of the Avogadro constant plays a key role in the redefinition of the kilogram in terms of a fundamental constant. The present experiment makes use of a silicon si…
Elemental characterization of the Avogadro silicon crystal WASO 04 by neutron activation analysis
Giancarlo D'Agostino, Luigi Bergamaschi, Laura Giordani +3
Analytical measurements of the 28Si crystal used for the determination of the Avogadro constant are essential to prevent biased results or under-estimated uncertainties. A review o…
The detection of signals buried in noise
Luigi Bergamaschi, Giancarlo D'Agostino, Laura Giordani +2
This paper examines signal detection in the presence of noise, with a particular emphasis to the nuclear activation analysis. The problem is to decide what between the signal-plus-…
