The L X-ray spectra of Ta, Au and Th induced by 0.6 to 4 MeV/nucleon (MeV/n) 84 Kr ions have been studied by means of a LiF(100) equipped crystal spectrometer with an overall resolution of 30 eV at 8.146 keV. The mean energy shifts of the main lines have been measured with accuracies ranging from 5 eV for well separated lines, to 30 eV for poorly resolved lines. Mean energy shifts per M and N spectator electron vacancies were deduced and compared with predictions of different models. The mean number of these vacancies at the various beam energies were estimated. Diagram lines were also observed and assigned to the internal conversion of transition energies between nuclear Coulomb excited levels. In the case of the Lα lines of Ta and Au and at the lower beam energies (0.6 and 1.2 MeV/n) the full width at half maximum of these lines was used to deconvolute the shifted peaks in the individual corresponding satellite lines.
Ba, La and Ce L X-ray production cross sections by 1 to 3.5 MeV protons have been measured for thin and thick targets. The experimental values are compared to those calculated from theoretical L subshell ionization cross sections and to experimental values determined by other authors for elements 50 to 92.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
