The PIXE technique, using heavy ions beams, has been implemented at th
e TANDAR tandem facility in Buenos Aires. Mainly O-16 beams in the bom
barding energy range E = 30-50 MeV have been used and a systematic mea
surement of X-ray production cross sections has been performed. The te
chnique has been applied to a variety of subjects, including environme
ntal, biomedical and industrial problems.
