Measurement of Kβ/Kα intensity ratios for elements in the range 22⩽<i>Z</i>⩽69 at 59.5 keV

Abstract

Measurements of Kβ/Kα intensity ratios in elements with 22⩽Z⩽69 have been carried out by stimulating the emission of K characteristic radiation by 59.5 keV monochromatic photons. The x-rays were measured using a Si(Li) detector (160 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV). The experimental results were compared with other theoretical and experimental values.
