Abstract
A computational algorithm capable of generating 2D elemental maps in m u-PIXE analysis of inhomogeneous thick targets has been developed and implemented in a program written in C language. The program allows use rs to define 3D inhomogeneous thick targets in terms of slices and inc lusions. The use of this program to generate 2D elemental maps and lin e scan intensity distributions for several simple targets is demonstra ted. One of the targets is a glass block with a thin dip on its surfac e. The line scan intensity distribution generated agrees reasonably we ll with that obtained from an experiment.
