Abstract

Silver and gold were analysed in coins and medals by inelastic gamma-scattering reaction. The irradiation was performed with a 740 TBq (20 kCi)⁶⁰Co source. After irradiation the isomer activities were measured with a well type NaI(Tl) scintillation counter and evaluated by means of a software program.
