Abstract
-shell x-ray production cross sections and ratios have been measured for thin targets of Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, and Y for 0.5- to 2.5-MeV alpha particles. The experimental values are compared to the nonrelativistic plane-wave Born approximation (PWBA), the binary-encounter approximation, and the PWBA with binding energy and Coulomb deflection corrections. The PWBA with corrections provides the best agreement with the experimental cross sections.
