L-subshell and total M-shell X-ray production cross sections of Ta, W, Pt, Au, Pb and Bi by 0.7–2.4 MeV protons

The L-subshell and total M-shell X-ray production cross sections of Ta, W, Pt, Au, Pb and Bi have been measured by protons of energy between 0.7 and 2.4 MeV. The obtained results for X-ray production cross sections have been compared with the existing experimental data, prediction of the ECPSSR theory and also with fitted empirical cross sections of Strivay and Weber.
