Description

A PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission) analytical system was implemented at the Physics Department of the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC/RJ) and used in projects involving the analyses of environmental and biological samples. This report describes the PIXE analytical system at PUC/RJ and summarizes the work done under IAEA Research Contract 2553/R2/RB. (author)
