Elemental analysis using electrostatic accelerator

Consideration is given to developed and applied metnods of elemental analysis, including Rutherford backward scattering, X-ray fluorescent analysis, nuclear reactions with charged particles with the use of electrostatic accelerator. Accelerator has the following parameters: proton energy 0.3-1.8 MeV, energy stability ΔE/E ∼ 10-4, target current is regulated within the limits from nA shares to 50 μA, characteristic beam size-about 3 mm. Potentialities of electrostatic accelerator and developed methods are illustrated by examples with indication of analysis sensitivity, possible errors. 12 refs.; 14 figs
