Abstract
Thick target particle-induced X-ray emission (TTPIXE) spectrometry has been increasingly used for multielement and trace element analyses. The theoretical background and a formalism are presented for their evaluation by means of a minicomputer. Numerical results are given and compared with the experimental ones. The advantage of the program is shown by a special experimental example.
