Abstract

The scanning proton microprobe of the institute of nuclear research (ATOMKI) in Debrecen is based on an Oxford Microbeams coupled quadrupole doublet focussing system built up to the 0° beam line of the 5 MV single ended Van de Graaff accelerator. With the setup described here PIXE analysis, Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and detection of backscattered secondary electrons can be carried out simultaneously. A modified version of the PIXYKLM computer program developed in the institute is used for the evaluation of the PIXE spectra. Applications discussed are related to investigations performed on metal archaeological samples and individual aerosol particles.
