Abstract

Linear polarized x-rays are used as exciting radiation to reduce the background and to improve the detection limits in XRF. A combination of an x-ray tube and a measuring module realizing a compact cartesian geometry was constructed. An on-line adjustable Bragg-polarizer, a Barkla-polarizer or a secondary target can be used optionally. The anode material of the tube can be changed easily.
