LIII subshell absorption jump ratio and jump factor of tantalum

The LIII subshell absorption jump ratio and jump factor of tantalum have been calculated for the first time by the mass attenuation coefficients determined using narrow transmission geometry, primary source (241Am annular radioisotope source) and secondary source targets (Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Tb, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Cu, Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi). The obtained results have been compared with theoretical values. They are in good agreement with each other.

► This work is on the LIII subshell absorption jump ratio and jump factor of tantalum. ► These parameters were obtained using the mass attenuation coefficients measured the LIII absorption edge. ► The results are in good agreement with theoretically calculated values.
