Abstract

Four geological standards, BEN, GSN, MRG 1 and SY2 have been analysed using thick target PIXE, and the results are in good agreement with the accepted concentration values for 25 elements. This demonstrates that thick target PIXE analysis employing modern computer codes for data reduction, can be used for fast reliable analysis of geological samples.
