Abstract

The ability rapidly and quantitatively to detect trace elements in a host matrix is of great importance in many areas of science and engineering. This fact is underlined by the considerable amount of effort that has been put into developing such techniques as electron probe microanalysis, proton Induced x-ray emission (Pixe), the laser microprobe mass analyser (Lamma) as well as conventional x-ray fluorescence methods. Recently the availability of electron storage rings partially or wholly dedicated to producing intense beams of synchrotron radiation has provided a new tpol to complement the above mentioned techniques. This paper reports on work at Daresbury Laboratory on synchrotron x-ray fluorescence (SXRF) fo r quantitative trace element analysis.
