Abstract
An external PIXE arrangement where the PIXE measurements can be normalized directly by the collected beam charge is presented. In the arrangement presented the beam current measurement was shown to be independent of the sample material by comparing the K-peak intensities of the Ar component of the air with the collected beam charges. In addition, a simple vacuum safety valve for the breakdown of the exit foil is presented and the importance of effective sample cooling and proper choice of exit foil material is emphasized.
