Measurements of K-shell X-ray production cross-sections and fluorescence yields for Cr, Mn, Fe and Co elements

• KαKα and KβKβ X-ray production cross-sections have been determined for the elements Cr, Mn, Fe and Co at 8.735 keV.
• Fluorescence yields have been determined for the elements Cr, Mn, Fe and Co.
• Results have been compared with results from experimental and theoretical studies.

KαKα and KβKβ X-ray production cross-sections have been measured for the elements Cr, Mn, Fe and Co. Measurements have been carried out at 8.735 keV excitation energy by using secondary source. The values of K  -shell fluorescence yields ωKωK have been measured for the same elements. The results obtained for K X-ray production cross-sections and fluorescence yields have been compared with theoretically calculated values and other available semi-empirical values.
