Portable Rugged Low Powered X-Ray Fluorescent Using Machined Sources (GSC-14796)

Abstract:
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and National Institute of Justice (NIJ) have teamed up to explore the use of NASA developed technologies for use in in-situ elemental analysis of materials at forensic sites or for use on planetary lander missions. A portable field X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) system has been developed which has the capability to perform analysis of selected materials down to the parts perm million ppm) levels for a large number of critical elements of interest in forensic and space exploration applications. The system will be designed so that operation can be carried with investigators who may not have scientific and engineering training.
