Guelph PIXE Group
Our activities include:
- development of the PIXE technique for elemental analysis, with emphasis on applications in geochemistry and mineralogy, fish otolith microchemistry, and materials science
- research in the area of inner-shell atomic physics and fundamental parameters that provides the database for PIXE
- development of the GUPIX software package, which has been supplied to over 140 labs in 30 countries
- participation in the Mars Science Laboratory mission through development and testing of the GUAPX code for processing the combined PIXE+XRF spectra from the Rover
- developing our new photon scatter method for in situ determination of water content of Martian samples using spectra from the Mars Exploration Rovers
- provision of PIXE and micro-PIXE analysis and imaging to a wide range of collaborators and clients
- presenting at various conferences - click here for a list of recent conference contributions by GPG members and collaborators
- in 2001 the GPG hosted PIXE 2001: a conference of PIXE professionals from around the world. Click here to see a photograph of the participants, taken on a beautiful July day in Guelph.
