On the basis of our recent review of experimental cross sections for K-shell ionization by
light ions, we present a table of best-fitted cross sections for protons on all elements from 4 …

When charged particles collide with atoms, atomic inner shell electrons become ionized,
producing characteristic X-rays. This phenomenon is called particle-induced X-ray emission …

This paper introduces the first use of laser-generated proton beams as diagnostic for
materials of interest in the domain of Cultural Heritage. Using laser-accelerated protons, as …

A versatile and fast C-language program has been developed to exactly calculate ionization
and x-ray production cross sections using the ECPSSR theory. All elements and any …

The need for this book arose from my teaching, engineering, and-search experience in the
non-power aspects of nuclear technology. The lack of a comprehensive textbook in …

This book describes the capabilities of nuclear techniques for elemental microanalysis in the
biological field. A description of basic principles is given at the beginning, with special …

Continuous X rays produced by light-ion· atom collisions, which mainly form continuous
backgrounds and determine the detection limit of PIXE, have been experimentally and …

An ingot from the load of lead carried by a Roman ship sunken near Sardinia has been
analysed for its composition and purity from radioactive contaminants in view of its possible …

In this review we look at the experimental K and L shell X-ray cross section data available up
to the end of 1988 and compare it with the predictions of the ECPSSR theory for ionisation …

Total L X-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross sections have been measured for ten elements in the
atomic range 41≤ Z≤ 52 at 5.96 keV. It is observed that the measured L XRF cross-section …
