Abstract
Four computer programs used for thick target proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) research at the Australian Atomic Energy Commission are discussed. Different techniques of spectrum analysis are considered and a description is given of the spectrum synthesis code PUCK used in our analysis. Attention is focused on the use of theoretical thick target yield curves as a means of obtaining quantitative information on trace element concentration. Finally, several applications indicating the versatility of thick target PIXE analysis are mentioned.
