Summary:The analysis workflow of Prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) at the Budapest Neutron Centre’s PGAA and NIPS-NORMA facilities, at the MLZ FRM II PGAA station, and other centers worldwide relied on the use of the Hypermet-PC gamma spectrometry software and the ProSpeRo concentration calculation Excel macro. The sustained interest of our user community amid the reduced availability of multiple large-scale neutron sources worldwide called for more efficient utilization of the operational PGAA facilities. The present paper addresses both measurement and data evaluation bottlenecks of the analysis procedure to achieve higher productivity and superior spectroscopic performance.
