K and L-shell X-ray production cross sections for 50-250 keV proton impact on elements with Z=26-30

摘要

The K and L-shell X-ray production cross sections of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn elements are measured by 50-250 keV proton impact. The results are compared with Binary Encounter Approximation (BEA), Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA) and Energy loss Coulomb repulsion Perturbed Stationary State Rela-tivistic (ECPSSR) theoretical predictions, as well as with experimental data of other authors. The ECPSSR theory agrees well with the K-shell cross section, but it overestimates the L-shell cross section by a maximum factor of about 7. The ECPSSR theory predicts a good trend to the production cross section ratio of the L to K-shell X-ray.
