K and L shell x-ray fluorescence cross sections

The K and L shell x-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross sections for elements with 13 ≤ Z ≤ 92 and 35 ≤ Z ≤ 92, respectively, are calculated for an incident photon energy range 1-200 keV. The XRF cross sections for Kα, Kβ, Ll, Lα, Lβ, and Lγ groups of x rays are tabulated. These calculations use the comprehensive sets of physical parameters currently considered most reliable, namely, theoretical partial photoionization cross sections and x-ray emission rates of Scofield, K shell fluorescence yields compiled by Hubbell, and Li subshell fluorescence yields, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities, and K to Li subshell vacancy-transfer probabilities based on the Dirac-Hartree-Slater model. 28 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs
