A discussion of the compared advantages and drawbacks of the use of the α parameters matrix effects correction method of PIXE measurements on infinite or intermediate thickness targets

The different important stages of the development of proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectrometry utilised with success since 1976 at Liege University are outlined. The methodological efforts (irradiation, target preparation, calibration, matrix effect corrections) to improve quantitative trace element analysis are emphasized. Examples of applications in geological, biomedical and environmental sciences are selected in order to illustrate the potential of the technique in these fields.
