Abstract:
 
From experimental conditions (angles, detection system, primary voltage,
line intensities & backgrounds), this program computes the weight &
atomic concentrations of up to 20 elements in a thin film X-Ray analysis
experiment using the Cliff-Lorimer procedure. An estimation of the
confidence intervals on the concentrations, for different first kind
risks, is also given. No special hardware is needed (i.e. math coprocessor
or graphic monitor). Results can be directed either to a lineprinter or to the
screen. From the original COLIJN & ROMIG program PCEDS, several improvements
are made concerning both the algorithms (parameterized maximum number
of elements to analyse, computation speed, analysis of the results
precision) and the accuracy of the formulae and data. Several misprints
were also corrected. Reference : "CLEDX : a stand-alone program for
