Description
We developed a laser-driven Particle Induced X-ray Emission (laser-PIXE) system utilizing compact and high-intensity particle sources to achieve rapid real-time elemental analysis of aerosols. Conventional PIXE techniques rely on large accelerators, limiting their use in on-site and real-time applications. Our study addresses this limitation by leveraging advancements in laser-driven particle acceleration to enable a portable diagnostic tool for environmental monitoring.
We focused on detecting harmful elements in aerosols by directing laser-driven particle beams onto collected samples. Using optimized laser parameters and a compact setup, we analyzed the elemental composition of aerosols in real time without the need for post-collection processing. This approach minimizes delays and logistical challenges associated with traditional methods.
Our results demonstrate significant improvements in the speed and accessibility of PIXE analysis, showcasing its potential as a transformative tool for environmental sciences. This method not only provides rapid diagnostics but also introduces a scalable solution for real-time monitoring of emission gases and aerosols in diverse settings. By integrating advanced laser technology with elemental analysis, we offer a robust strategy to address current challenges in aerosol diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
