•Bremsstrahlung attenuation in Tb and Ho targets is measured.•At K edge a sharp decrease in intensity is used to determine the K shell parameters.•The K x-ray photons appear just below the K edge hinders the precise measurement.•This hindrance is avoided using monochromatic gamma source.•Measured values are compared with those obtained from FFAST tabulations.
The spectrum of external bremsstrahlung (EB) transmitted through Tb and Ho is measured using a HPGe detector spectrometer. A sudden drop in transmitted intensity at K shell binding energy has been used to determine the K shell photoelectric parameters. The unwanted characteristic K x-ray photons generated just below the K edge has been avoided by carrying out a separate experiment in the same geometry. The measured values of K shell parameters have been compared with FFAST values.
