Measurement of atomic L shell fluorescence (omega(1),omega(2),omega(3)) and Auger(a(1), a(2) and a(3)) yields for some elements in the atomic number range 59 <= Z <= 85

A comprehensive set of theoretical Coster-Kronig and fluorescence yields ar e presented for atomic numbers 18 less than or equal to Z less than or equa l to 100. These quantities are based on ab initio relativistic calculations . Agreement with experimental values is fair for omega (1) and generally go od for omega (2), omega (3) (Z greater than or equal to 54) [1]. Therefore, atomic L shell fluorescence (omega (1), omega (2), omega (3)) and Auger yi elds (a(1), a(2) and a(3)) for some elements in the atomic number range 59 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 85 were determined. These sel ected measured semi-empirical values were also fitted by least squares to p olynomials in the Z of the form Sigma (n)a(n)Z(n) and compared with theoret ical and with earlier fitted values.
