abstract
The possibility of a simultaneous determination of low and medium Z elements in hair in a single ion beam exposure was studied. Different ion beams, proton, deuteron,3He and18O, at velocities ranging from 2.7-6.9 MeV/amu were investigated. In this work,18 8O4+ beam was found to give the best experimental condition in terms of sensitivity and number of elements detected. The detection limits in a single hair ranged from 2.910-5 g for Fe to 0.72 g for H using this beam. 1980 Akadmiai Kiad.
