Abstract
This paper describes an application of a proton–proton elastic recoil coincidence spectroscopy to hydrogen analysis using a proton microbeam at an energy of 20 MeV. This method provides depth profiles of hydrogen over a thickness of 200 μm of silicate samples in a short time. A typical beam size is as small as 27 × 32 μm. The depth resolution is about 10 μm. The present work proves that the proton–proton elastic recoil coincidence spectroscopy is a promising method for measurements of hydrogen in mineral and rock samples with thickness up to 200 μm.
