The K x-ray satellite spectrum of Ca excited by photons was studied us
ing an LiF(200) plane crystal spectrometer. The satellite energies and
their relative intensities were examined in the light of theoretical
and experimental data available for electron and proton excitations. T
he energies were found to be in general agreement with the available d
ata. However, the KL1/KL0 intensity ratio was found to be in agreement
with that for electron excitation but not with that for proton excita
tion. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
