Abstract
Improvements in detection technology and spectra processing have resul ted in higher accuracy in the determination of L X-ray emission probab ilities in the 10-20 keV energy range. These values were independently measured for Am-241, Pu-239 and Pu-230, using two types of detectors (Si(Li) and HPGe). The experimental values of the total L X-ray emissi on probabilities are consistent with previously published data. Theore tical computations were carried out to complete the experimental resul ts. This study validates most of the experimental results but also rev eals some discrepancies.
