Abstract
This review describes the basic principles of photon activation analysis (PAA) and gives an extensive overview of its numerous applications. Uses of PAA for environmental, biological, geological, archeological, and forensic samples are reviewed. Both scientific and industrial applications of PAA are covered. Potential future uses of PAA are addressed.
