Abstract

Peaks in the 20–40 keV region of Si(Li) X-ray spectra exhibit pronounced low-energy tailing due to Compton scattering of X-rays en route to the detector. An analytic description of this tailing is proposed and tested using proton-induced X-rays from thick targets. In the PIXE context this provides more accurate extraction of peak intensity and a better description of the matrix background.
