The goal of the work was to investigate the possible application of factor analysis methods
for processing X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) data acquired with a full-field XRF spectrometer …

In this work a set of simulations that aim at the optimization of Micropattern Gaseous
Detectors (MPGD) for applications in X-ray fluorescence imaging in the energy range of 3 …

In this paper, we report on a systematic study of a soft X-ray Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM)
detector built with aluminium-clad kapton GEM foils. The primary objective of this research is …

Research on aging processes of Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) is important to obtain
insights on how to increase detector's longevity, stability and performance, as highlighted in …

The forensic uses of Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS)
are discussed in this chapter. By detecting and measuring chemical constituents in …

Over several months, representatives from the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of
Science and National Institutes of Health (NIH) had a number of meetings that lead to the …

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging technique has been proved to be exceedingly useful for
the noninvasive investigation of cultural heritage objects in recent years. It offers the …
