LL, Lα, Lβ, and Lγ X-ray fluorescence cross sections for Pr, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Pt Au, and Pb were measured at the excitation energy 16.58 keV. An X-ray tube and a secondary excitor system was used instead of radioisotopes for the measurements. Experimental cross sections are compared with the theoretical estimates based on relativistic Dirac–Hartree–Slater theory. Average L-shell fluorescence yields [Formula: see text] are deduced using the present experimental cross sections and the theoretical subshell photoionization cross sections. The derived average fluorescence yields are fitted by least squares to polynomials in Z of the form ΣnanZn and compared with theoretical and earlier fitted values. Good agreement is observed ' between the experimental results and the theoretical estimates based on relativistic Dirac–Hartree–Slater theory.

In the present investigation, the plane-wave Born approximation was employed to calculate the total ionization cross sections by electron impact of methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol from the threshold of ionization to 10 MeV. This method requires continuum generalized oscillator strengths (CGOSs). The two different semi-phenomenological expressions of CGOS, given by Mayol and Salvat and Weizsacker and Williams, along with approximated form of the continuum optical oscillator strength (COOS) by Khare et al. were used. Furthermore, the average of the above two CGOSs was also used. The calculated ionization cross sections were compared to the available previous theoretical results and experimental data. Out of three CGOSs, the present results with the average CGOS were found in good agreement with the available experimental results for all the considered molecules. Collision parameters CRP were also calculated from 0.1 to 100 MeV and the calculations were found to be in excellent agreement with the experimental results of Reike and Prepejchal.

The Ll, Lα and Lβ X-ray production cross sections for Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd and Tb elements were determined using a reflection geometry. The excitation was performed with a 241Am radioactive annular source and the L X-rays emitted from targets were counted with a high-resolution Si (Li) detector. The experimental values were compared with other available experimental results and theoretical data. An agreement is observed between the measured and other experimental results or theoretical data.

Abstract. Knowledge of molecular photolysis cross sections is important for determining atmospheric lifetimes and fates of many species. A method and laser apparatus for measurement of these cross sections in the near-ultraviolet (UV) region is described. The technique is based on action spectroscopy, where the yield of a photodissociation product (in this case OH) is measured as a function of excitation energy. For compounds yielding OH, this method can be used to measure near-UV photodissociation cross section as low as 10−23 cm2 molecule−1. The method is applied to determine the photodissociation cross sections for methyl hydroperoxide (CH3OOH; MHP) and hydroxymethyl hydroperoxide (HOCH2OOH; HMHP) in the 305–365 nm wavelength range. The measured cross sections are in good agreement with previous measurements of absorption cross sections.

The neutron yield from photo-reactions in nine elements has been measured as a function of the maximum energy of the University of Saskatchewan Betatron. Cross sections are given for each of the reactions as calculated from these data. The integrated cross sections are compared with theoretical sum-rule predictions of Levinger and Bethe and good agreement is obtained with x = ½. The data support the conclusions reached in a preceding paper by Montalbetti, Katz, and Goldemberg. The competition between (γ, n) and (γ, p) reactions in chromium and in nickel is analyzed in the light of these experimental results. Good agreement with statistical theory is obtained in both cases.

AbstractIn many experiments on X-ray stress analysis, the tilt angle Ψ shows that for a given peak the integrated intensity function of Ψ is not a constant. In this paper a geometric factor is described which corrects the integrated intensity in asymmetric X-ray diffraction. The defocussing effect, always present in asymmetric X-ray diffraction, reduces the number of diffracted X-ray photons registered by the detector. For a θ/2θ diffractometer, the new correction was found to be dependent on the divergence angle of source and detector slit, the tilt angle Ψ and the Bragg angle θ.The experimental results corrected with the proposed factor are in good agreement with the theory in limits of acceptable errors.

First Time

The total attenuation cross section at the K edge, absorption jump ratio, jump factor, Davisson–Kirchner ratio, and oscillator strength parameters for the K shell were determined by measuring the total attenuation cross sections around the K edge for Pr, Nd2O3, and Sm. The measurements were performed in a secondary excitation geometry using the Kα2, Kα1, Kβ1, and Kβ2 X-rays (in the region from 31.817 to 55.293 keV) from different secondary source targets excited by the 59.54 keV γ-photons from an 241Am annular source. It is the first time that the Davisson–Kirchner ratio values have been determined for present samples. The experimental results were compared with the theoretically calculated and other available experimental results.
