  • Abstract
    The paper describes the details of the Chandigarhi Variable Energy Cyclotron and its application to trace element analysis using the PIXE technique. The various samples of water and air of Chandigarh and nearby regions have been analyzed using a 2-4 MeV proton beam from this cyclotron. The importance of the analysis of a few biological and archeological samples has also been discussed. The application of this technique is also being exploited for identification of forged ancient coins
