Abstract

The results of determination of nitrogen content in meteorites by neutron activation are reported. The method is based on the14N(n,p)14C reaction, which occurs upon irradiation of the samples by neutrons. The use of proportional gas-filled countes for the recording of14C made it possible to obtain the low nitrogen detection limit of 0.001 μg.
