KX-ray production cross sections for heavy target elements and14N,40Ar projectiles above the coulomb barrier

Abstract

KX-ray production cross sections have been measured for beams of14N at 92, 103, 115 and 180 MeV and40Ar at 180 and 300 MeV on targets with atomic numbers ranging from 40 to 90. We find that the measured values can be well reproduced with a plane wave Born calculation, provided that corrections for the Coulomb deflection of the projectile, the increased binding energy of theK-shell electron and relativistic effects of theK-shell wave function are taken properly into account.
