Abstract
The M x-rays of Th and U have been produced by alpha particle bombardment in the energy range of 2.5-4.5 MeV. N6,7 → M5(Mα), N6 → M4(Mβ), N5 → M3(Mγ), N4 → M2 and N2 → M1 lines were selected to deduce M-subshell x-ray production cross sections. The radiative transition rates and the Coster-Kronig yields and M-subshell fluorescence yields were used to convert the x-ray production cross sections into M-subshell ionization cross sections. The deduced M-subshell ionization cross sections were compared with the ECPSSR predictions. The discrepancies of our experimental results from the theoretical calculations are discussed.
