Description

The science program of elemental analysis is a rapidly expanding area, with applications ranging from cultural heritage to energy materials to advanced manufacturing. Negative muons are an excellent tool for determining the composition of a material, non-destructively, as a function of depth. EVA (Elemental, Visualisation and Analysis) is a new software package that is user-friendly and easily expandable [1]. A key requirement of the software is to have a simple interface, this removes potential barriers for data analysis, as many users in this area will have diverse backgrounds. EVA utilises SRIM/TRIM to optimise the experimental setup and utilises a MuDirac and the IAEA databases for the identification of muonic X-ray peaks and gamma emissions, respectively [2,3,4]. EVA can also fit the data, either individual peaks or model fitting and has an advanced element identification. This utilises a most probable method and will include Machine Learning (MuspecML) [5]. In this presentation, we will summarise the important features and future work.
