Abstract

Pulse-height analysis is a valuable tool in X-ray fluorescence analysis, both for qualitative and quantitative purposes. The elimination of higher order interferences permits determinations that would otherwise be very difficult or impossible, The systematic application of pulse-height analysis in qualitative work greatly simplifies the interpretation of complex spectra. In certain cases one can apply nondispersive analysis, relying on the pulse-height analyzer alone for separating energy levels of X-ray photons. Technique and limitations of pulse-height analysis will be discussed.
