(i) Upgraded in-air analysis end station

With the upgrade of the in-air end station (external beam) we strengthened our ability to make ion beam analysis (IBA) with the ion beam extracted in air, which practically means that we are able to make analytical measurements of samples that cannot be exposed to vacuum. The end-station is at the moment equipped with the standard Si(Li) X-ray detector for in air PIXE measurements. There are several sectors of applications, one being materials science (analysis of large objects that physically cannot be inserted in vacuum chamber) and the other one archaeometry or more generally ‘analysis of cultural heritage objects’ (analysis of fragile and precious objects that cannot be inserted in vacuum or sampled). Within the project we made the sample stand that allows fine manual XYZ sample translation, which is in addition equipped with stepper motors for computer controlled XYZ sample translation.
