Preliminary results from the acceptance tests A typical uncalibratedqualitative PIXE spectrum obtained at the interaction of 3 MeV proton beam with a thin solid target. The spectrometer resolution is 160 eV at 5.9 keV. May be clearly seen the X-Ray transitions of the target constituent elements: MnKand K, Ni Kand Cu Kand K. From the peak intensity can be determined with great precision the concentrations of elements. RO-ICAC 2012
Preliminary results from the acceptance tests RBS raw spectra measured in collision of 3 MeV 4He+ beam with a thin layer of Au on a Si substrate. As can be seen, the measured energy of a backscattered particle easily allows to determine the mass of the target atom. Also the projectiles scattered below the surface lose energy and consequently energy scale yields the depth profile of constituent elements of probe. RO-ICAC 2012
CONCLUSIONS • The installation of the 3MV Tandetron acceleratorcreates great opportunities for research using IBA techniques in various domains like medicine, archeology, geology, material science, pharmacology, environmental sciences, forensic investigations, nuclear physics and in many other domains.
