How does californium detects gold?

Californium can detect gold by emitting a type of radiation called neutrons. These neutrons interact with the gold atoms, causing them to emit characteristic gamma rays that can be detected using specialized equipment. This method is called neutron activation analysis and is used to accurately determine the presence and quantity of gold in a sample.
