Abstract
Cyclotron at panjab university is a variable energy accelerator. It can accelerate protons, deutrons and alpha particles at 1-4 MeV/c, 4 MeV and 1-8 MeV respectively. Protons beam of energy 2-4 MeV at Cyclotron Laboratory is suitable for proton induced X-ray(PIXE) study. In this review paper we will discuss about the cyclotron accelerator and the PIXE setup.
