Abstract
The ionization and X-ray production cross section are fundamental parameters in elemental analysis by PIXE technique. Unfortunately no exact general analytical expression exists, from which the interest of this work. In this paper, we apply the neural network technique in the evaluation of the X-ray production cross sections. The calculations are based on Mukoyama’s PWBA data. Our results are compared with experimental data for protons and alpha particles for energies ranging from hundreds KeV to tens MeV.
