Abstract
Proton induced x-ray analysis (PIXA) has become widely used because protons produce only a low level of bremsstrahlung (background). Usually PIXA is performed in a vacuum, but recently the procedure has been done in air or He. The air allows easier specimen access and improved cooling. A new method for PIXA is given along with results of Chinese hamster lung cell elemental analyses.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
