The excitation probabilities of Kα,β and Lα1,2 for some elements in 56≤Z≤68 at 59.54keV

Abstract

The Kα,β and Lα1,2 excitation probabilities for some elements in 56≤Z≤68 at 59.54 ke V were obtained using a Si(Li) detector with a multichannel analyzer. It is the first time that the Kα,β and Lα1,2 excitation probabilities were determined for the present elements. To obtain the Kα,β and Lα1,2 excitation probabilities, the K and L3 shell/sub-shell absorption jump factors and the K and L3 shell/sub-shell fluorescence yields were determined experimentally. The measured results of absorption jump factor and fluorescence yield were compared with the theoretical and other experimental results. The determined excitation probabilities were compared only with theoretical calculated ones since there are no other experimental reports for the present elements in the literature. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
