CU-K-BETA RADIATION INELASTICALLY SCATTERED FROM BERYLLIUM AND BORON INTERFERENCED BY K-MM RADIATIVE AUGER TRANSITIONS

High-resolution spectroscopic analysis of inelastically scattered X-ra y K-beta radiation of Cu from polycrystalline Be and B shows some pecu liar structure in the region of the inelastically scattered radiation. Coherent scattering of the low-energy satellite structure of the prim ary Cu-K-beta lines, which extends in the same low-energy region, cont aminates the inelastic spectrum and may be responsible for the observe d structure. This ''parasitic'' elastically scattered radiation contri butes to the background lying under the X-ray Raman scattering data an d its knowledge is necessary for the correct evaluation of the Raman s pectrum.
