Abstract

TheK α x-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross sections have been experimentally determined for elements in the range 42≦Z≦57 at excitation energy of 59.54keV associated with gamma rays of Am-241 radioisotope. In addition, measurements of XRF yields of theK shell (w k) for the same elements at the same excitation energy have also been carried out. Our measurements were shown to agree with theoretical calculations.
