Abstract
Measurements of the fluorescence yield of calcium and potassium with a windowless Si(Li) detector have been performed. In metallic layers K- shell vacancies were produced by photo effect with a Fe-55 source. The values obtained are omega(K)(Ca) = (0. 164 +/- 0.004) and omega(K)(K) = (0. 144 +/- 0.004). For potassium this is the first experimental va lue reported.
