Mike Loughlin has already done this, albeit not with the exact same specimen.? It is a specimen that we "collected" at the same time.? I am sure he will post his results soon.

Here is my latest best effort with trinitite using Am241 as an exciter.

Only 3 elements really stand out: Fe U Ba.? There are other possibilities such as Sn and Cs but I can't say for sure without a much longer run.? Note that many of the peaks are to be ignored because they come from the Am241 and the Pb shield.

Charles- Great set of scans of Trinitite XRF! Thanks.? A favor? No rush and only if/when you can. Please rerun same test, same conditions, time,? and sample, but this time no exciter? Let's explore excited U L X-Rays? vs. those from Pu-239 decay.
