摘要
Methods and systems are provided to improve PGNAA substance analyzers. In one aspect, an analyzer includes: a source of neutrons; an opening to receive a substance; a gamma ray detector; and computational device(s) configured to receive spectral data of detected gamma rays, perform a regression algorithm on the spectral data using spectral responses for known atomic elements to determine coefficients of spectrum, sum effective weight values (corresponding to the coefficients of spectrum) together to form a total effective weight value for the substance being analyzed, divide effective weight values by the total effective weight value for the substance to generate effective weight-percent values corresponding to two or more respective ones of the atomic elements detected in the spectral data, and generate final weight-percent values based on a correlation of previous effective weight-percent values obtained for known samples with elemental or molecular weight-percent values obtained for the known samples.
