Abstract
Particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) method is used in the field of archeometry and specially to investigate pigment colored multilayers. The tilting of the sample with respect to the incident proton beam dir ection allows to modify the relative contribution of each layer to the fluorescence signal. The experimental results coupled to computer sim ulations lead to semi-quantitative information about the thickness, th e position and the composition of the successive layers.
