Abstract

Different procedures have been used to develop x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy in Chile. In this paper we describe those groups doing basic or applied scientific research, mainly associated with units at universities and research centers. The techniques are PIXE, common XRF, XRF excited with gamma sources, x-ray emission from an electron microprobe and the total reflection technique. Historical aspects and experimental features are mentioned. Theoretical and methodological projects are also described. Finally, the wide field of applications of XRF in Chile is presented.
