Invited Technical Oral Communication
Nearly background free analysis of light elements is possible using the coincidence pattern of elastic scattering reactions. This has been demonstrated for hydrogen analysis, by using proton-proton (pp) scattering [1]. Microscopy with sub-µm-resolution and sensitivity below 0.1 at-ppm for hydrogen analysis becomes possible at MeV energies due to the large elastic scattering cross section...

Invited Technical Oral Communication
Secondary particle emission with swift heavy ion irradiation provides unique opportunities for further insight on ion collision with matter. Those phenomena are utilized in ion beam analysis techniques, and most of the techniques are for elemental analysis. However, strong demand for chemical analysis is growing these days, because of increased importance of organic and biological materials....

Particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) technique is usually used for trace element characterisation in combination with energy dispersive spectrometers like Si(Li), Ge and/or SDD detectors. Although related PIXE spectra are in principle chemically invariant, small influence of chemical effects could be observed [1]. However, if high resolution crystal X-ray spectrometers are used instead of...

Oral Communication
The pulsed beamline DEFEL of the 3 MV Tandem accelerator at the INFN-LABEC laboratory in Florence has been significantly upgraded to complement the existing high temporal resolution with the newly implemented high spatial resolution.
At DEFEL beam pulsing is achieved by quickly sweeping the beam through adjustable slits. The fast beam deflection is actuated by a double system of deflecting...

A major re-build of the CSIRO Nuclear Microprobe (NMP) in Melbourne was underway at the time of the 2012 ICNMTA conference, which aimed to exploit the construction of a purpose built Maia fluorescence detector for high definition PIXE imaging. Further refinement of the design of Maia has been necessary and the finalization of this project is very close and may be operational around the time of...
