title = "K0-NAA for the determination of trace elements in a synthetic material: A collaborative study",
abstract = "As part of an interlaboratory comparison in order to certify a synthetic material to be used for the validation of the proper implementation of k0-NAA a collaborative trial was organised. Based on this collaborative study RSD r values (repeatability relative standard deviation) ranging typically from 1 to 2% could be achieved, while RSDR values (reproducibility relative standard deviation) ranged typically from 2 to 5 %. These values were then compared with the Horwitz criterium leading to HORRAT values in most cases well below 1, although two exceeding 1, depending on the element to be determined. It could be concluded that k0-NAA is a very precise method, but that still some inconsistencies for certain elements do exist.",
