Several powerful analytical techniques utilizing energetic ions (MeV or above) are gaining popularity in laboratories around the world. The best known of these accelerator based techniques, Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), is briefly described togeth...

For the first time, the complementary accelerator-based analytical technique of PIXE and electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) were employed for the characterization of some Nigeria�s natural minerals namely fluorite, tourmaline and topaz. These minerals occur in different areas in Nigeria. The minerals are mainly used as gemstones and ...

A new 5SDH Tandem Pelletron from NEC was installed at the Lebanese Atomic Energy Commission, in order to have an analytical research laboratory using PIXE, PIGE, RBS and other techniques. This paper is mainly a description of the facility and its development during the past two years where different calibrations of the experimental set-up and various ...

The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in collaboration with the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Pacific Power and the Universities of NSW and Macquarie has established a large area fine aerosol sampling network covering nearly 60,000 square kilometres of NSW with 25 fine particle samplers. This network known as ASP commenced sampling on 1 July 1991. The ...

An analytical technique was developed for identifying enhanced fluctuations in the angular distributions of secondary particles produced from relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions. The method is applied under the assumption that the masses of the produced particles are small compared to their linear momenta. The importance of particles rests in the fact ...

Techniques are used to detect and identify analytes. Techniques are used to fabricate and manufacture sensors to detect analytes. An analyte (810) is sensed by sensors (820) that output electrical signals in response to the analyte. The electrical signals...
