7.62 MeV He was used to study the distribution of a wide range of elements
in mineral sands. At this energy both He induced X-ray emission and a high
energy resonance in oxygen can be applied simultaneously. The two technique
s were used to study the distribution of elements ranging from sulfur to zi
rconium as well as oxygen. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserv
