X-ray Analysis of Medieval Silver Coins by maria is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Photons, electrons, and protons were used to analyze medieval silver coins from Austria to identify their composition and origin. Three techniques were employed: energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis (EDXRF), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis with a scanning electron microscope (SEM/EDX), and proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE). EDXRF and SEM/EDX provided information on the surface composition but had limitations for trace elements. PIXE was more sensitive and could detect trace elements. The t
