Abstract

In this work a complex study of the capabilities Particle Induced X-Ray emission(PIXE) technique for the determination of minor constituents of aerosol samples has been done.The PIXE experiments were carried out at Cyclotron at Department of Physics, Panjab University Chandigarh using ~2.7MeV proton beam. The X-rays were detected with the help of low energy HPGE detector. Total fifteen samples were collected from various locations in Chandigarh.The minor elements identified in the aerosol samples wereS,Cl,K,Ca,Ti,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni,Zn,V,Br and Pb. The data analysis was done using GUPIX software to extract the quantity of the trace elements.
