K X-ray production by 12C4+ ion impact on selected elements

Cross sections of X-ray production induced by C and Si ions with energies up to 1 MeV/u on Ti, Fe, Zn, Nb, Ru and Ta

“…Only the latter are shown in figure 6. Comparing our data with previous ones on Fe [7,13] in the case of C (figure 7), we observe consistency with those of Fazinic et al [7], assuming similar statistical errors, but large discrepancies with those of de Lucio et al [13], increasing with energy. Furthermore, Fazinic data and ours closely follow the trend marked by the theory.…”

“…(2) for the targets and in the cases that it was applied to. Total cross section for K X-ray production induced by C ions on Fe, compared to the results of references [7] and [13] and with the ECPSSR and ECPSSR-UA theories [21].…”

“…Measurements for other ions (O, Cl, Cu, Br) are in progress following the recommendation issued by the coordinated research project. Total cross section for K X-ray production induced by C ions on Fe, compared to the results of references [7] and [13] and with the ECPSSR and ECPSSR-UA theories [21].…”

New Geant4 cross section models for PIXE simulation

“…1-5. We presented results corresponding to five target elements, each one representing one element subgroup (Z 2 = 6 from the subgroup [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], Z 2 = 29 from the subgroup [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], Z 2 = 39 from the subgroup [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], Z 2 = 51 from the subgroup [41-60] and Z 2 = 73 from the subgroup [61-92]).…”

“…Numerical, analytical and semi-empirical approaches for calculation of K-shell ionisation were derived from those cited models by applying various corrections taking into consideration multiple physical effects such as binding, polarisation, relativistic and deflection effects [31][32][33][34].…”
