Abstract
Deviations of the branching ratio of the decay of K-vacancies in Ti have been observed during bombardment with low velocity ions of H, He and N. Beams of these ions have been used for various applications in which resonant nuclear reactions were used as the main analytical technique, whereas the X-ray signal could conveniently be used for monitoring the accumulated charge. During the evaluation of this monitoring signal, it was observed that the commonly made assumption that the Kβ/Kα intensity ratio is a constant can easily be off by 30% or more. Also a few data of L-shell ionisation cross sections has been measured on Au to establish if the onset of deviations in the branching ratio parallels the onset of deviations from the ECPSSR theory for inner shell ionisation.
