Introduction to X-ray fluorescence (XRF)

https://pan-learning.org/moodle/course/view.php?id=47

Introduction to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a short introductory course intended for students of physics, chemistry and material science that want to get acquainted with basic principles of XRF and some of its use cases. It has been designed by Alessandra Gianoncelli (Elettra Sincrotrone, Italy) and Aljoša Hafner (CERIC-ERIC, Italy).

Course duration is approximately 45 min.

The main goal of the course is to gain knowledge basic knowledge of synchrotron XRF and its applications. The following topics are covered:

  • Basic theoretical background and principles
  • Instrumentation and experimental setup (source, samples, detection)
  • Scientific examples from biomedical applications and cultural heritage
  • Short test of knowledge gained on real RAW data

Key resources:

Keywords: gain knowledge basic knowledge, cultural heritage short test, real raw data key resources

Resource type: Moodle course, e-learning

Language: English

Authors: Primož Šket, Aljoša Hafner
