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 />
