Experimental determination of L X-ray fluorescence cross sections for elements with 45 < Z < 50 at 10 keV

Abstract

Synchrotron radiation at 10 keV was used to experimentally determine the Ll, L, LI, LII, LI and LII fluorescence cross sections for elements with 45 < Z < 50, as part of an ongoing investigation at low energies. The measured data were compared with calculated values obtained using coefficients from Scofield, Krause and Puri et al. Received: 19 December 2013, Accepted: 20 January 2014; Reviewed by: J. P.
