Measurements of L subshell and L shell x-ray fluorescence cross-sections for U and Th

The Ll, Lα1,2, Ln, Lβ6, Lβ2,4,15,17, Lβ1,3,5, Lβ9,10, Lγ1, Lγ2,3,6,8, Lγ4,4′ and Lγ5 x-ray fluorescence cross-sections for U and Th were measured at 59.5 keV incident photon energy by using theoretical Li subshell photoelectric cross-sections, fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields and fractional emission rates, and calculated theoretically by using atomic parameters. The measured values were compared with the theoretical values and experimental results available in the literature. Copyright ©2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
