Abstract
L-shell ionisation and x-ray production cross sections of trans-uranium elements: Np, Pu and Am, induced by protons of energies 5.00–20.00 MeV, have been calculated. The cross sections for the targets were obtained using computer codes based on the ECPSSR theory. Due to the lack of experimental data of the targets considered, in view of their radioactive, toxic and unstable nature, the calculated cross sections were subsequently validated. This was achieved using the computer codes to evaluate the ionisation and x-ray production cross sections of Uranium induced by protons of energies in the 1.00–20.00 MeV range. This study also showed that the relative x-ray line intensities associated with the ionisation and x-ray productions of the targets considered are dependent on protons energies.
