In vacuum PIXE (proton induced X-ray emission), iron detected from the multi- elemental sample (Fe, Pb, Ag, Au etc) mounted on the holder while passing through Mylar window of the scattering chamber produces extra intense peak because because of the high energy X-ray (Pb, Ag, Au etc) line induced iron X-ray from chamber window. Graphite collimator with less diameter as compared to window diameter is the right choice to solve the above problem or anything else.
