Comment on 'L-subshell ionisation cross sections of xenon by electron impact near threshold region'

Abstract

The authors draw attention to the fact that the work presented by Aydinol (1981) was the result of a collaboration between the authors and Aydinol, and that the paper was submitted for publication without the authors knowledge. The same work has since been presented, with Aydinol as a co-author, in Hippler et al. (1981). The data published by Hippler et al. (1981) differ from those given by Aydinol (1981) in that they include an important correction (of 5 to 20%) to the absolute subshell cross sections. This correction is due to the change in the detector efficiency in the energy range 4.1 to 5.4 keV.
