Experiments presently conducted at the Martin Marietta Denver facility to collect cometary dust during a Tempel 2 flyby are reviewed. It is shown that a number of viscid materials are quite suitable to collect particles up to 50 μm diameter at speeds up to 50 m/s. First results are presented for the more complicated setups using nonviscid metal surfaces for the collection of dust. These targets allow the use of surface analysis techniques for a more elaborate chemical analysis of the collected dust particles.

AbstractMaterial analysis, specially surface analysis of materials, has been increasingly important. A wide range of surface analysis techniques is available. The techniques are, generally, complementary. There are nuclear and non-nuclear techniques, e.g. microscopy. Nuclear techniques, which are nondestructive, permit analysis for a few microns near the surface. They have been applied to areas such as scientific, technologic, industry, arts and medicine, using MeV ion beams. Nuclear reactions permit to achieve high sensitivities for detection of light elements in heavy substrates and also discrimination of isotopes. We use ion-ion nuclear reactions, elastic scattering and the energy analysis method, where an energy spectrum is obtained of ions from the target for a chosen energy of the incident ion beam. The target composition and concentration profile information contained in the spectrum is computationally obtained through a computer program that has been developed for predicting such energy spectra. Predicted spectra obtained for variations of target parameters are compared with experimental data, giving that information. SEM and TEM are also used.
