What Does STNAA Stand For?

STNAA stands for Short Time Neutron Activation Analysis

STNAA, or Short Time Neutron Activation Analysis, is a sensitive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials by measuring their gamma-ray emissions after neutron irradiation. This method allows for the detection of trace elements in various samples, making it valuable in fields such as environmental monitoring, archaeology, and materials science. STNAA is characterized by its short irradiation times, which enhance the efficiency of analysis and reduce the risk of sample alteration.
