Measurement of relative K X-ray intensity ratio following radioactive decay and photoionization

The measurements of the K X-ray intensity ratio I (K α 2 /K α 1 ), I (K β 1 /K α 1 ) and I (K β /K α ) for elements V, Mn, Zn, Tc, Ru, Cd, Xe, Ba, Cs, Hg and Rn were experimentally determined both by photon excitation, in which 59.5 keV γ-rays from a 241 Am and 123.6 keV γ-rays from a 60 Co were used, and following the radioactive decay of 51 Cr, 55 Fe, 67 Ga, 99 Tc, 111 In, 131 I, 133 Ba, 133 Xe, 137 Cs, 201 Tl and 226 Ra. K X-rays emitted by samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector with resolution 160 eV at 5.9 keV. Obtained values were compared with the theoretical values. It was observed that present values agree with the previous theoretical and other experimental results.
