Abstract
The PIXE/RBS setup at the Tandetron accelerator facility of KFUPM is described and examples are given on the analysis of catalysts, geological desert rose, aerosol pollution, wear metals in used engine-lubrication oil and multicomponent glass samples. The advantage of combined data analysis by PIXE and RBS is emphasized in defining routine procedures for such an analysis. In addition, software development is described briefly for PIXE analysis using PIXANPC.
