Measurements of K X-ray fluorescence cross-sections, fluorescence yields, level widths and radiative vacancy transition probabilities for the elements Zr, Mo, Cd, Er at 59.54 keV

Abstract

K shell X ray fluorescence cross sections, fluorescence yields, level widths and radiative vacancy transition probabilities were investigated for the elements Zr, Mo, Cd, Er. The measurements were performed using photons of 59.54 keV emitted from an Am-241 (about 100 mCi) point source and a high resolution Si(Li) detector. The experimental results were compared with theoretical calculations and the other results obtained from literature.
