Determination of Ti and CaK alpha(5) and K alpha(6) X-ray satellite energies at He ion bombardment

Above Z = 19 in the literature one can not find data on the energies of the K alpha(5) and K alpha(6) multiple ionization satellite lines, only an ave rage K alpha L-2 energy was measured in most cases. The reason is that at e lectron or photon excitation the higher Z elements produce very low intensi ty K alpha L-2 satellite lines (practically not seen), and at higher Z proj ectiles the additional M, N,... satellites wash the different KL transition s into a common wide peak. Using We ions of about 3-6 MeV energy one can re solve the two most intense components of the K alpha L-2 group for the 4th row elements of the periodic table. We determined these satellite energies for Ca and Ti by different ways. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
