Nuclear Resonance Profiling Data Analysis.

Abstract

Analysis methods are described which were developed at NRL over the past decade and used to treat data obtained from nuclear resonance profiling measurements made at the NRL 5-MV Van de Graaff Accelerator. Principles are discussed which are the basis for making measurements and, from results, determining the absolute concentration as a function of depth (below a well-defined surface) of an element which may be the sole constituent of a solid or a very small fraction thereof. Procedures are described for obtaining pertinent Fortran source-languages files, object-language files, load modules, and job-specification-language files from the catalog of the NRL Texas Instruments ASC7 computer. Instructions for the use of these programs and remarks supplementing instructional annotation in the source-language versions are recorded. Concluding remarks are made which bear on future software design, computers and peripheral apparatus, and computer languages suitable to the development of facilities related to nuclear resonance profiling and similar endeavors.
