Measurement of relative X-ray intensity ratios for elements in the 22≤Z≤29 Region

X-ray spectra obtained by pure element targets photoionization using an X-ray tube were recorded with the Si(Li) detector calibrated for efficiency and peak shape. The spectra were analyzed taking into account the radiative Auger effect and satellite lines. Kβ/Kα X-ray intensity ratios for Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu were compared with those obtained from radionuclides decaying by electron capture. The K-shell fluorescence yields were reviewed for the same Z range, pointing out the lack of experimental data.
