A method of chemical analysis based on the detection of characteristic Radionuclides following a nuclear bombardment. It is also known as Radioactivity analysis. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific [..]

Activation Analysis in which the specimen is bombarded with Neutrons. Identification is made by measuring the resulting Radioisotopes. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed [..]

<radiobiology> Method for identifying and measuring chemical elements in a sample of material. Sample is first made radioactive by bombardment with neutrons, charged particles, or gamma rays. Newly formed radioactive atoms in the sample then give off characteristic radiations (such as gamma rays) that tell what kinds of atoms are present, and [..]

(chemistry) Any of several similar techniques in which a subatomic particle or gamma ray is captured by a nuclide to form a second stable nuclide which is then measured.
