Abstract
A method and system for analyzing constituent elements in bulk media wherein neutrons are emitted into the bulk media to produce inelastic neutron interaction in the bulk media, and a gamma-ray spectrum resulting from the inelastic neutron interaction in the bulk media is detected. A set of standard spectra are used as part of spectral analysis that processes the standard spectra and the derived gamma-ray spectrum to determine a number of yield coefficients for the constituent elements as part of the bulk media. The standard spectra or the spectral analysis is configured to account for at least one environmental condition that affects detected gamma-rays that result from the inelastic neutron interaction in the bulk media.
