Development of an external microbeam-PIXE system using thin film windows
- 1. Osaka National Research Institute, AIST, Ikeda, Osaka (Japan)
Description
A external microbeam system using polyimide windows has been developed for PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission ) analysis in air. A beamline consists of a magnetic quadrupole-doublet lens, cylindrical objective slits and double-deflection scanning coils. Polyimide films with a thickness of 3.5 μm or 7.5 μm were used for the exit windows. Spot sized in air were measured by beam-induced fluorescence of CsI scintillation plates. A minimum spot size obtained was about 10 μm for a 1.5 MeV proton beam. PIXE-mapping images of a Cu grid were successfully obtained in air. (author)
