In this work, a new setup for low-energy Particles Induced X-Ray emission (LE-PIXE) was developed at the third beamline of the 350 kV implanter. First, we implemented a new X-Ray detector in the chamber. Then, we compared the method with other X-ray based techniques such as, X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) and high-energy PIXE . An analysis of the strengths and weakness of each technique will be given. To complete the experimental work, an important theory part is provided to introduce the main phenomena taking place during the experiments, covering from the main theory of the ionization of atoms to the cross section and attenuation principle for PIXE and RBS. Likewise an analysis of the limitation and of the possibility of low-energy PIXE through the detection limits measured on Fluorine and Oxygen samples will be carried out. The major goal is to be able to make a new statements on low-energy PIXE method following new theoretical models and better equipment.
