Abstract

Performance of a D-D reaction-based portable pulsed neutron generator model MP320 was evaluated for prompt gamma applications. The operating beam energy and beam current of the MP320 generator were determined through prompt gamma-ray yield measurements from iron. The chlorine prompt gamma-ray yield was also measured from saline water samples containing 1.0-4.0 wt% chlorine to test the neutron flux efficacy of the MP320 generator for prompt gamma applications. The results of the study showed satisfactory performance of the MP320 generator for prompt gamma neutron activation application studies.
