Re: Nickel in Indochinite Tektites, from here or there?
Readjusted setup? with better results
My tektites with a different shape and size share similar xrf characteristics
Both are from the same strewnfield.
Te does not? seem to fit in despite going? on

Will try improving my count rate
My detector /sample distance moved apart slightly??by 1 cm
It is significant for a narrow beam/secondary collimation system?
Bring it closer again later this

Taray,
Can you give us a link to that beam collimation article it sounds like good information.
Also note that tektites aren¡¯t part of the meteorite but the melted terrestrial rock and soil ejecta

This helps to minimize Ni to a large extent
I may have been exaggerating a bit( can¡¯t help it sometimes!)
But it appears to decrease Ni and other scattering event??by the secondary

Re: Nickel in Indochinite Tektites, from here or there?
Are you using a shield of any sort?
Yes
My lead scatter is very minimal?
I place a graded shield of Fe and Al where risk of scatter is max
Since my beam is narrow,my sample/sensor is a good

Typo for pancake probe meant for radioactivity.

Not magnetic to pancake probe

From a google search
Glass typically contains about 0.3% arsenic oxides or arsenates, but some types of glass can contain up to 1.5% arsenic trioxide. Glass manufacturers add arsenic to reduce bubbles
