L-shell X-ray production cross sections induced by protons and alpha-particles in the 0.7–2.0 MeV/amu range for Ru and Ag

The X-ray emissions induced by protons and alpha-particles of the elements Ag and Ru were measured on mono-elemental thin films. L-shell X-ray production cross sections were obtained for the three L-subshells, considering absorption corrections. The Ag X-ray production cross sections agree with experimental data of other authors and with theoretical models, and were used to endorse the quality of the experimental values for Ru, that were not found in the literature.
