SYNTH, a Windows^TM based software package developed for generating synthetic gamma-ray spectra, has been updated and extended to include the ability to generate gamma-ray spectra resulting from neutron activation. Along with a new gamma-ray library (based on the NNDC PCNuDat compilation), and the best available neutron cross-sections, it is now possible to simply, and quickly predict the interference effects of different bulk and trace element compositions by generating a synthetic gamma-ray spectrum that will be representative of a specific set of input parameters. The parameters include, but are not limited to: elemental composition (bulk, and trace) of the sample; irradiation, decay, and count times; thermal, and resonance neutron flux; sample to detector distance; detector specifications; and electronics configuration. Using existing data reduction codes, it is then possible to generate Minimum Detectable Activities (MDA's) for other trace elements that you may wish to detect in this type of matrix.
