Abstract
The ion beam analysis techniques, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission (PIGME), Particle Elastic Scattering Analysis (PESA) and Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) for 2.6 MeV protons, have been developed to operate simultaneously on a 3 MV Van de Graaff accelerator to analyse aerosol filter papers.
PESA is used in the forward scattering mode at 30° to determine the total H content. RBS at 169° is used to determine C, N and O content of the thin filter papers. PIGME is used to determine light elements such as F and Na and PIXE is used for all elements above Al. The system has high sensitivities, is non destructive and can analyse 12 samples/hour. Comparisons of these IBA techniques with neutron activation analysis (NAA) and ion chromatography (IC) will be made.
