INTRODUCTION The knowledge of relative intensities of K, L and higher shell X-rays is needed for the investigation of various phenomena in atomic physics. In earlier studies, L X-ray relative intensities and energies have been reported for many elements by several investigators [1–5], but the angular dependence of L X-ray relative intensity has not been reported. According to Flugge et a1 [6], if the angular momentum J=1/2 and J>1/2 of the originating shell, then the angular distribution of X-rays is isotropic and anisotropic, respectively. From this idea, Lα, Ll and some of Lβ, intensities are dependent on changing the scattering angles. In this study, we have measured the angular dependence of Lα, Lal, Lα/Lβ, and Lα/Lγ, intensity ratios of U and Th at different angles varying from 45° to 135°.
