Abstract

The resonance at E (19F) =6.42 MeV in the reaction 1H(19F,αγ)16O has been explored as a potentially useful method for the quantitative determination of hydrogen concentration as a function of depth in a solid substrate. The relative merits of this resonance, the 16.44-MeV resonance in the same reaction, and the 6.39-MeV resonance in the reaction 1H(15N,αγ)12C are discussed.
