Abstract
A computer code to calculate the K, L, and M α, β and γ X-ray line intensities,
KLMabgRatios, is described together with the input tables used to calculate these
intensities for light ion bombardment of targets with atomic numbers from Z=6 to
100. The KLMabgRatios program was written with the main aim of updating the
1980’s data files used up till now (Clayton AAEC M113/1986), with more recent
experimental and theoretical datasets published in the last 2 years or so. Preferred
recommended K, L and M X-ray line intensities for light ion impact on selected
targets for atomic numbers between Z=6 and 100 are given for 8 K lines, 17 L lines
and 22 M lines as well as their corresponding ωK, ωL and ωM total shell fluorescence
yields.
In addition a program, wexplore, has been written to carry out Gaussian fits to
experimental K, L and M X-ray spectra to better determine L and M X-ray production
subshell cross sections for light ion bombardment. A section on the use of this
wexplore program is also included in this report.
