X-ray production cross sections of individual L lines, L and M total of Hg were measured for 0.7 to 2.9 MeV protons. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical predictions of the plane wave Born approximation (PWBA), ECPSSR and the semiempirical formula of Orlic. Good agreements were obtained for L1 at lower energies and L2 and L3 at higher energies with Orlic and ECPSSR predictions, respectively. The influence of using different databases for x-ray fluorescence yields and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities is also discussed. The results of this work were not compared to any other reported data, since no experimental cross sections for mercury were found in the literature.
