Overview of current and future Research and Development activities of the Nuclear Spectrometry and Applications Laboratory (NSAL), Physics Section

Abstract
The research and development activities of the Nuclear Spectrometry and Applications Laboratory (NSAL), Physics Section, IAEA, would be reviewed with emphasis on the existing infrastructure and recent/on-going work with respect to portable micro-XRF spectrometers, scanning micro-XRF analysis, laboratory-source based 3D micro-XRF analysis, phase contrast tomography and low-cost digital signal processing modules. In view of the scheduled development of a multipurpose Ultra High Vacuum Chamber for the synergistic application of different x-ray spectrometric techniques under different excitation modes (laboratory x-ray source, charged particle beams and synchrotron radiation), the objectives of this project would be presented and the possibility for a cooperation with Elettra would be discussed.
