Abstract

Using a high-resolution Si(Li) X-ray detector, the Lα, Lβ and Lγ X-ray fluorescence cross sections and the relative intensities for elements with 57 ≤ Z ≤ 71 were measured at photon incident energy of 16.9 keV. We also theoretically calculated these cross sections, and discussed the experimental results in comparison with the theoretical values. As a result, we have found that our experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical ones.
