Abstract

Least-squares fitting codes developed independently at five different laboratories are used to analyse PIXE spectra of a set of biological, environmental and geological specimens. A detailed comparison of the resulting five sets of X-ray intensity data reveals a remarkably good agreement among the five techniques, despite major differences in their methodologies. This conclusion strengthens PIXE's claim to have reached maturity as a trace element analysis technique.
