Description

The problem of elemental composition analysis for a variable thickness surface layer has been investigated. Both protons and alpha-particles with a range of energy were used as the incident ions for PIXE, PIGME and RBS measurements so that the variation of elemental composition as a function of surface thickness could be studied. An example of measurements on desert varnish coatings on underlying rock is given
