  29. PIGE for analysis of light elements for new air pollution beam line • Li, B, F, Mg, Na, Al • - γ-ray absorption negligible but γ-ray cross sections strongly • depends on Ep • energy loss of p in the aerosol sample depends on particle size and is • For PM10 and 2 MeV protons ≤ 150 keV • it is important to find regions in the cross section where excitation • function is nearly constant • yield measurements for elements where no data are available around • 2 MeV • - Micromatter standards
