本研究は多重$$gamma$$線分析法を利用することにより非破壊で地球科学試料中のイリジウムの超高感度分析を試みたものでこれを紹介する。秤量した50から200mgの試料を高純度石英管に溶封し、これらをイリジウムの標準溶液より作成した100ngのイリジウム標準試料とともに照射カプセルに入れて原子力機構研究炉JRR-3において48時間照射を行った。約3から4週間冷却した後に多重$$gamma$$線分析装置GEMINI-IIにおいて$$gamma$$線同時計測を行った。一試料あたり約一日の測定を行い、標準試料から得られたピーク強度との比較によって試料中のイリジウム量を定量した。また測定時にGe検出器やデーター収集系において発生するデッドタイムの補正は測定試料と同時に133Baの標準線源を測定しそのピークの数え落としから見積もった。測定試料は標準岩石試料で、これらの測定を通して本法の有用性を示し、さらに最近行った地質試料中のイリジウムの分析研究の紹介を行う。

The multiple $$gamma$$-ray detection method developed for nuclide quantification has achieved better resolution and sensitivity than the ordinary singles $$gamma$$-ray detection method. The INAA combined with this method is called NAAMG (Neutron Activation Analysis with Multiple $$gamma$$ ray detection) and has been successfully applied to various fields. In the case of neutron activation analysis, measurements of $$gamma$$-rays from trace elements are strongly interfered by the $$gamma$$-rays from isotopes produced from major elements, e.g., Na-24, Mn-56. Therefore chemical separation processes are sometimes required to eliminate the major elements for determination of the trace elements. Measurements of iridium in geological sample were carried out by this method. Samples were irradiated at the JRR-3. Iridium concentrations in several standard rock samples and geological samples were also measured by this method. Fifty to one hundred mg of each sample were sealed in quartz tube and irradiated together with iridium standard. After irradiation, the $$gamma$$-$$gamma$$ coincidence of multiple $$gamma$$ rays from the Ir-192 was measured with the Ge detectors array, GEMINI-II. $$gamma$$ rays from about 10 ppt of iridium in geological samples can be detected by this method.
