Confocal microscopic X-ray fluorescence at the HASYLAB microfocus beamline: characteristics and possibilities
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibilities of performing non-destructive elemental analysis in three dimensions on a variety of heterogeneous materials by means of an innovative variation of the microscopic X-ray fluorescence analysis (μ-XRF) method are described.

Confocal μ-XRF depth analysis of paint layers
TL;DR: In this paper, a focused narrowband beam of the synchrotron radiation was used for in-depth analysis of historic and modern paint layers, and fluorescent radiation induced by 21 keV impact radiation was detected by a Si(Li) detector equipped with a polycapillary X-ray lens in con-focal geometry.

Oxidation states of uranium in depleted uranium particles from Kuwait.
TL;DR: Environmental or health impact assessments for areas affected by DU munitions should take into account the presence of respiratory UO(2), U(3)O(8) and even UO (3) particles, their corresponding weathering rates and the subsequent mobilisation of U from oxidized DU particles.

Oxidation states of uranium in DU particles from Kosovo.
TL;DR: The oxidation states of uranium contained in depleted uranium (DU) particles were determined by synchrotron radiation based micro-XANES, applied to individual particles in soil samples collected at Ceja Mountain, Kosovo, and their corresponding weathering rates and subsequent remobilisation of U from DU particles should be included in the environmental or health impact assessments.

Characterization of U/Pu particles originating from the nuclear weapon accidents at Palomares, Spain, 1966 and Thule, Greenland, 1968.

TL;DR: Characteristics such as elemental distributions, morphology and oxidation states are remarkably similar for the Palomares and Thule particles, reflecting that they originate from similar source and release scenarios.
