Experimental determination and simulation of neutron and gamma flux parameters in horizontal channel for Prompt Gamma Neutron activation analysis implementation at Es-Salam research reactor.

Since 2004, the k-standardization method has been applied and evaluated in three experimental channels at Es-Salam research reactor of the Algerian Centre de Recherche Nucléaire de Birine (CRNB). The NAA laboratory at CRNB is well involved in the implementation of the Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis to extend the field of analyses to some additional elements to the NAA method. In the frame work of the PGNAA research project, several works have been carried out in the present study including the experimental and simulation characterization of neutron and gamma flux parameters of the horizontal channel.
