PGAA Experimental Station
The
prompt-gamma activation analysis
(PGAA) is a nuclear analytical technique for the non-destructive
analysis of elemental compositions of samples. The PGAA
facility at the Budapest Research Reactor is dedicated
to the application of the neutron-capture spectroscopy for chemical
analysis. More
NIPS Experimental station
Thanks
to its flexible arrangement, the neutron induced prompt gamma-ray
spectroscopy (NIPS) facility is used for a broad scope of nuclear
spectroscopic measurements, including gamma-gamma coincidence
experiments, the detection of prompt-gamma
radiation from materials irradiated in the neutron beam, and off-line
counting of decay radiation at close-in geometries. Very recently it is
upgraded to do prompt-gamma activation imaging (PGAI) and neutron
tomography (NT) measurements on archaeological objects, in the framework
of the project ANCIENT CHARM.

DÖME equipment
This low-level counting chamber is an adequate tool to measure the activity of the samples after the irradiation (off-line counting) and to study other kinds of samples with low activities. The background within the chamber is about 1.60 cps.
The facility is a property of the Atomic Energy Research Institute (AEKI), but operated by the our Department.

In-beam Mössbauer Experimental Station
The applicability of
the Mössbauer technique can be greatly extended when the source is
produced by in-situ irradiation of a target with a beam of guided
neutrons. For this purpose, a new facility is being built in
co-operation with the Department of Isotope Applications.
