PIXE as an analytical tool--an external-beam system in helium and the role of sample preparation

  • 1. City Univ of NY, Brooklyn

Description

A PIXE system in which samples in a helium-filled target chamber are irradiated by an external proton beam is described. The system is well suited for study of a wide range of materials, some merely calling for qualitative analysis, and others requiring quantitative measurements. This variety mandates a flexible approach to sample preparation in order to obtain full sensitivity of the system. Some examples taken from our work are given. 9 refs
