Description
The radiation spectra of 111 In, 113m In, and 114m In are calculated with the Monte Carlo computer program IMRDEC. The relaxation probabilities are taken from the EADL file of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Because this file does not include data for some N and O transitions, these were additionally determined by applying the Kassis rule. Two schemes are applied to calculate the transition energies: 1) a simple (Z + 1)/Z scheme, and 2) accurate calculation solving the relativistic Dirac equations. It is shown that using the extended set of relaxation probabilities leads to generation of many additional low-energy Auger and CK electrons if the (Z + 1)/Z rule is applied. On the other hand, the emissions of almost all these electrons are rejected if their energies are calculated solving the Dirac equations taking into consideration realistic electron vacancies
