Popis: The objective of this study is to examine the ability of PIXE to distinguish the country of origin of duvets. The stable isotope method that is currently used is not recognized as reliable. Mineral concentrations of down feathers from France, Poland and Taiwan were measured by PIXE. The measurements were statistically analyzed. The results show even a scatter plot of appropriately chosen minerals distinguished between those countries at 95% accuracy.
