A multiplatform code for the analysis of energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectra

A user friendly program for X-ray fluorescence analysis has been developed at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The program allows interactive as well as batch processing of large data sets and it is particularly well suited for X-ray imaging. Its implementation of a complete description of the M shell is particularly helpful for analysis of data collected at low energies. The code is platform independent (Linux, Windows, MacOS X, Solaris …) and it is freely available for non-commercial use. Description of the algorithms used and practical examples are presented.
