Abstract

The resonance at E (¹⁹F) =6.42 MeV in the reaction ¹H(¹⁹F,αγ)¹⁶O has been explored as a potentially useful method for the quantitative determination of hydrogen concentration as a function of depth in a solid substrate. The relative merits of this resonance, the 16.44‐MeV resonance in the same reaction, and the 6.39‐MeV resonance in the reaction ¹H(¹⁵N,αγ)¹²C are discussed.
