Neutron based techniques for materials study are important in fields ranging from chemistry, physics and archaeometry. Neutron diffraction gives information on phases and composition , neutron Bragg edge transmission on the presence of strains, and on the domain size, neutron resonance capture analysis on the elemental composition and neutron radiography on morphological characteristics. the different information from the aforementioned techniques is provided typically by different instruments. A multitask approach based on simultaneous ND/NRCA/BET/NR was tested successfully on INES. A multitask approach based on a non-resonant neutron absorption such as prompt gamma activation analysis is worth to be tested as well as it is sensible also to nuclei that do not show resonances in the radiative capture cross section, thus enabling to exploit the more intense region of the ISIS flux.
