Measurement of the K to L shell vacancy transfer probabilities for Mo, Pd and Cd in photon impact

K to L shell vacancy transfer probabilities (ηKL) of Mo, Pd, and Cd have been measured by successively exciting them with the K X-rays of Ni and Sn induced by the bremsstrahlung emanating from an X-ray tube. The measured values of ηKL agree well with the theoretical values and the data of others.
