Mξ, Mαβ, Mγ and Mm X-ray production cross-sections for elements with 71≤z≤92 at 5.96 keV photon energy

The Mξ, Mαβ, Mγ and Mm X-ray production (XRP) cross-sections have been measured for the elements with 71≤Z≤92 at 5.96 keV incident photon energy satisfying E M1<E inc<E L3, where E M1(L3) is the M1(L3) subshell binding energy. These XRP cross-sections have been calculated using photoionization cross-sections based on the relativistic Dirac-Hartree-Slater (RDHS) model with three sets of X-ray emission rates, fluorescence, Coster-Kronig and super Coster-Kronig yields based on (i) the non-relativistic Hartree-Slater (NRHS) potential model (ii) the RDHS model and (iii) the relativistic Dirac-Fock (RDF) model. For the third set, the M i (i=1-5) subshell fluorescence yields have been calculated using the RDF model-based X-ray emission rates and total widths reevaluated to incorporate the RDF model-based radiative widths. The measured cross-sections have been compared with the calculated values to check the applicability of the physical parameters based on different models
