Measurement of relative K X-ray intensity ratio following radioactive decay and photoionization

The measurements of the K X-ray intensity ratio I(Kα2/Kα1), I(Kβ1/Kα1) and I(Kβ/Kα) for elements V, Mn, Zn, Tc, Ru, Cd, Xe, Ba, Cs, Hg and Rn were experimentally determined both by photon excitation, in which 59.5 keV γ-rays from a 241Am and 123.6 keV γ-rays from a 60Co were used, and following the radioactive decay of 51Cr, 55Fe, 67Ga, 99Tc, 111In, 131I, 133Ba, 133Xe, 137Cs, 201Tl and 226Ra. K X-rays emitted by samples were counted by a Si(Li) detector with resolution 160 eV at 5.9 keV. Obtained values were compared with the theoretical values. It was observed that present values agree with the previous theoretical and other experimental results.
