Proton induced x-ray emission and its application to biomedical elemental analysis

Abstract

A proton induced x-ray emission (PIXE) system has been used in elemental analysis of hair samples. The system utilises a 2.37 MeV beam of protons to excite characteristic x-ray emission in bombarded samples. A solid state Si(Li) detector, is used to detect a fraction of the emitted x-rays...
