Nondestructive determination of nitrogen in biological and other materials by photon activation analysis
Krausová, Ivana ; Mizera, Jiří ; Chvátil, David ; Krist, Pavel ; Řanda, Zdeněk ; Kučera, Jan ; Štursa, Jan
A procedure has been developed for assaying nitrogen in biological materials by means of instrumental photon activation analysis (IPAA). The determination has been based on counting of the non-specific 511 keV annihilation gamma rays of 13N, product of the photonuclear reaction 14N(γ, n)13N and a pure positron emitter. IPAA allowed determination of nitrogen down to 1 wt.%. in selected biological reference standards - NIST RM 8433 Corn Bran, 1547 Peach Leaves, 8414 Bovine Muscle, and 1577b Bovine Liver. The optimized procedure was applied also to assaying nitrogen in pulverized nanodiamond intended for medical purposes.

The neutron flux characterization on the microtron MT25
Chvátil, David ; Králik, M. ; Granja, C. ; Krist, Pavel
Microtron is a small cyclic electron accelerator. When it is used as a source of neutrons, electrons must be converted to neutrons by means of nuclear reactions. Spectra of neutrons produced by high energy X-ray photons in lead and uranium targets installed on the microtron MT25 were measured by the Bonner sphere spectrometer with passive detectors of thermal neutrons. Neutron yield from uranium target was nearly two times higher than from the lead one.

Computing of MT 25 Microtron Dynamic Behavior and Fast Simulation
Krist, Pavel ; Bíla, J. ; Chvátil, David
This paper presents the design of a mathematical model and its fast simulation developed for the setup of the control system of the MT 25 microtron, which is a cyclic electron accelerator. This type of accelerator has been controlled manually until now. The mathematical model is based on calculations of the electron motion in the accelerating cavity and vacuum chamber. The simulation diagram was created in Matlab – Simulink.
