Physics

Scientific paper

We explore in this paper the possibility of a planetary in situ XRF system using a newly developed battery-operated miniature X-ray generator as the excitation source. Furthermore, recent advances in refrigeration technology and HgI2 detectors make it possible to consider realistically the inclusion of a high-resolution energy-dispersive spectrometer as part of the system. It will be shown that by the simple coupling of the miniature X-ray generator and a standard Si(Li) detector qualitative characterization of geochemical samples can be easily carried out without elaborate calibrations and spectrum stripping. Similar battery-operated miniature X-ray generators with a variety of anodes are now commercially available.
