In March 1999, a HVEE Tandetron was installed in the Electrostatic Accelerator Building of National Institute of Radiological Sciences (NIRS) for particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis. The specifications of the Tandetron accelerator system operating at NIRS are as follows: the accelerating voltage is 0.4–1.7 MV, and the maximum beam current is 500 nA at 3.4 MeV. The accelerator facility incorporates three beam lines for conventional, in-air and microbeam PIXE analysis.
