Analysis using MeV ion beams is a thin film characterisation technique invented some 50
years ago which has recently had the benefit of a number of important advances. This …

Accuracy of PIXE analyses depends on inner-shell ionization cross sections. These cross
sections are often calculated in the ECPSSR theory; results of its variant (that uses DHS …

Tables of compiled cross sections list data for production of individual line and total L x-rays
as well as for ionization of L subshells and the total L shell. The present cumulative …

The present state and recent developments of the PIXE method are presented. Fields of
application, improvements of the instrumentation and the new installations are reviewed …

Experimental heavy ion induced X–ray production cross sections in matter continue to be of
importance for both fundamental ion-atom collision studies as well as practical applications …

The concentrations of fifty trace elements, including relatively volatile elements and
transition metal elements, in fused glasses of Geological Survey of Japan rock reference …

In 1970s, Basbas et al.(Phys. Rev. A 1973, 7, 983; Phys. Rev. A 1978, 17, 1655) rose the
possibility that PWBA ionisation crosssections could be expressed in terms of a universal …

Most particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) data analysis codes are not focused on
handling multilayered samples. We have developed an open-source library called …

The present status of theoretical L-shell x-ray production cross sections is gauged by an
updated and revised fit to 5771 measurements in elements ranging from 24 Cr to 95 Am in …

Abstract The self-consistent Ion Beam Analysis (IBA) of cultural heritage samples using the
external beam is technically demanding. We report on the calibration of an analysis of glass …
