Comparison of proton and helium induced M subshell X-ray production cross sections with the ECUSAR theory
نویسنده
چکیده
M subshell X-ray production cross sections have been measured for Ma12, Mb1, Mc, M2–N4 and M1–O23 transitions representing all five M subshells. These experimental cross sections have been compared with the ECUSAR theory of Lapicki and four parameter fits are given to the experiment to theory ratios covering the proton and helium ion energy range from 0.5 to 3 MeV on thin W, Au, Pb, Th and U targets. 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The status of theoretical L-subshell ionization cross sections for protons
Accuracy of PIXE analyses depends on inner-shell ionization cross sections. These cross sections are often calculated in the ECPSSR theory; results of its variant (that uses DHS wavefunctions) are employed in the GUPIX package. While the ECPSSR theory agrees well with massive compilations of K x-ray production, it deviates systematically from Lsubshell data – in particular, L1 and L2 cross sect...
متن کاملA proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) analysis of concentration of trace elements in varicose veins
Background: Proton induced X-ray emission (PIXE) has been applied as reliable and improved techniques in this study to compare concentration of various trace elements in normal and abnormal varicose veins. Materials and Methods: Five samples from normal veins and 13 samples from varicose veins bombarded by 2.0 MeV energy proton beams produced by a Van de Graff accelerator in vacuum. T...
متن کاملInvestigation of heavy trace elements in neoplastic and non-neoplastic human thyroid tissue: A study by proton-induced X-ray emissions.
Background: Within the context of developing techniques to facilitate the diagnosis of the thyroid diseases, the elemental composition of pathological thyroid tissue (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) was investigated by proton induced X-ray emission. The PIXE has been widely used as a sensitive technique for trace elemental analysis in both biological and medical fields. Materials and Methods: Th...
