Abstract
In this work, we experimentally determined Ag and Au L-shell X-ray production and ionization cross sections, induced by 2–5 MeV carbon ions. The experiment was performed using the standard measurement setup already used to measure M-Shell X-ray production cross sections. Ag and Au thin targets, were used to measure L-shell X-ray spectra with Si(Li) and SDD X-ray detectors simultaneously with backscattered carbon ions from the targets by surface barrier detector. Experimental values are compared to the data available in the literature, as well as to the theoretical predictions of PWBA, ECPSSR and ECUSAR models. The analysis of data shows that the ECUSAR predictions are good at low carbon ion energies while the ECPSSR and PWBA predictions agree at the higher incident energies.
