Measurements of relative thick target yields for PIGE analysis on light elements in the proton energy interval 2.4–4.2 MeV

Abstract

In order to extend the energy range of the systematic investigation on relative thick target yields performed by ANTTILA et al2 for 1≤Ep≤2.4 MeV bombarding energies, gamma spectra and yield data are presented for elements Z=3–9, 11–17, 19–21 in the energy range 2.4≤Ep≤4.2 MeV and the results are discussed from the point of view of PIGE analysis.
