Abstract: An interactive computer program for the analysis of PIXE ( Particle Induced X-ray Emission) spectra was described in this study. The fitting procedure consists of computing a function Y (I, a) which approximates the experimental data at each channel I. a is a set of fitting parameters (energy and resolution calibration, X-rays intensities, absorption and background). The parameters of fit were determined by using a nonlinear least-squares fitting based on the Marquardt`s algorithm. The program takes into account of low energy tail and escape peaks. The program was employed for the analysis of PIXE spectra of geological and biological samples. The peak areas determined by this program are compared to those obtained with AXIL code
