Description

An experimental setup for PIXE analysis of trace elements in different samples is presented. A detailed analysis of its main elements is given with the emphasis on their function in the setup. The results on beam profiling, calibration of the charge collecting system, efficiency and sensitivity of the setup are presented and discussed. Basing on statistical considerations a new criterion for the PIXE sensitivity in the region of vanishing background is proposed. 13 refs., 6 figs. (author)
