Abstract
M-shell X-ray production cross sections of the rare-earth elements 57La, 60Nd, 62Sm, 63Eu, 64Gd, 66Dy, 67Ho, 66Dy, 67Ho, 68Er, 70Yb, 71Lu, and 72Hf were measured for proton bombardment in the energy range 0.6–4.6 MeV. The efficiency of the windowless Si(Li) detector for X-rays in the energy range 0.5–5.0 keV was determined by using the known atomic-field bremsstrahlung cross sections for low energy electron beams, K-shell X-ray measurements with protons, and calibrated radioactive sources. The measured X-ray production cross sections are compared to the predictions of the first Born approximation and the ECPSSR theories.
