Particle Induced Gamma-ray Emission<br />

• MeV protons can tunnel through the Coulomb barrier<br />

of light nuclei to induce gamma-emitting g nuclear<br />

reactions<br />

• Gamma energy is characteristic of specific isotopes<br />

• Detection limits ~ 10-100ppm<br />

• Useful <strong>for</strong> light elements: Al, F, Li, B, Na, Mg<br />

• Sharp resonances in the excitation function can be<br />

used <strong>for</strong> depth profiling<br />
