摘要：

The neutron moderator structure of a prompt gamma-ray neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) system based on a deuterium-tritium (DT) neutron generator was re-optimized. In this study, a 1 cm lead combined with a 2 cm high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was set as a new moderator. The thermal neutron flux, fast neutron flux of more than 6 MeV and total neutron flux in the samples increased by 22%, 41% and 41%, respectively. The signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) increased from 15 to 19%. The measurement results with samples containing different element contents indicated that the detection sensitivity of the analyzer with the new moderator structure was significantly improved.
