Abstract
The preliminary design of PGNAA system of IHNI was completed and the system in accordance with the design was set up. For both detector shielding part and the neutron beam shielding part, the inner layer was natural LiF powder and the outer was lead.Then boron concentration measurement experiments using this system were finished.The results show that the the system can measure 10B concentration of 10 ppm, with 2 mL of the sample volume. 10B element measurement sensitivity was 0.822 cps/ppm. Also it was found that the natural LiF powder would produce a high background in the target part of the energy spectrum and affect the measurement accuracy.
