MEASUREMENTS OF L X-RAY-FLUORESCENCE CROSS-SECTIONS AND YIELDS FOR ELEMENTS IN THE ATOMIC RANGE 41-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-Z-LESS-THAN-OR-EQUAL-TO-52 AT 5.96 KEV

Total L X-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross sections have been measured for ten elements in the atomic range 41 less-than-or-equal-to Z less-than-or-equal-to 52 at 5.96 keV. It is observed that the measured L XRF cross-section values for the elements in this region are in general agreement with the theoretical ones evaluated using L subshell fluorescent yields (omega(i)) and Coster-Kronig transition probabilities (f(ij)) based on the Relativistic Dirac-Hartree-Slater theory. The average L shell fluorescence yields (omega(L)BAR) have also been computed using the presently measured cross-section values and the theoretical L shell photoionisation cross-section values.
