Abstract

Kβ/KαX-ray intensity ratios have been measured for various elements between Z = 29 and Z = 79 for incident proton energies of 23.6, 32.1 and 43.6 MeV. The results yield no evidence for a variation in ratio with particle energy.

    Proton-induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) analysis using Kα and/or Lα transition is presently a common task in which it is usually assumed that the ratio between two X-ray lines to the same subshell (before considering the matrix effects) is an atomic parameter independent of the ionisation process and of the chemical environment surrounding the emitting ion. However this is not true and, furthermore it was already pointed out by several authors that a proper account of the relative intensity of X-ray lines becomes essential to assure a correct quantification of all elements present in a sample (complex or not) [2–8]. In 2003 studies to explore matrix effects upon the relative intensity of X-ray transitions were started and Relative Yield Ion Energy Dependence (RYIED) was observed, named and reported as phenomenological evidence in 2005 [1].
