Abstract
In-sample scattering contribution of fluorescent radiation to the X-ra y fluorescence line intensity were studied in thick, pure samples. The Compton peak/photopeak area ratios for pure elements Cu, Zr, Ag, Sn, Ba, Gd, Dy and Yb were determined as a function of characteristic X-ra y energy and sample thickness for annular-shaped Am-241 isotope excita tion. The results show that the contribution of scattering is within 2 -15% of the primary fluorescence. The results were compared with theor etical results.
