Abstract
A new approach for elemental analysis, which is based on the measurement of the hard x ray emitted from a laser-produced plasma is reported here. Sinc e the K-shell emission is characteristic of the element in a sample, Cu, Zn , Fe, Co, and Ni were readily confirmed to be present in brass and kovar al loys by measuring the x-ray emission spectrum over an energy range from 2 t o 30 keV.
