Popis: A narrow entrance slit was attached to an in-air high-resolution PIXE system composed of a flat analyzing crystal and a position-sensitive proportional counter. Chemical shift measurements were carried out for Si, P and S Kα1,2 lines from various sample targets. The precision of measurements is much improved compared with that obtained by the position-sensitive crystal spectrometer system without the entrance slit. The new system equipped with the entrance slit does not require exact sample positioning. It is applicable to non-flat targets. Chemical shift measurements are also possible while moving the targets.
