Measurement of L X-ray production cross sections in elements 57⩾Z⩾92 at 22.6 keV

Abstract

L X-ray fluorescence cross sections have been measured for elements of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, Ta, W, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th and U at a photon energy of 22.6 keV, using K conversion X-rays of Ag. The present results are discussed in the light of the other available experimental and theoretical results.
