Abstract
The K-beta/K-alpha intensity ratios are measured in some 3d shell elements by using a 2 MeV proton beam along with a high resolution Si(Li) detector. The present K-beta/K-alpha, intensity ratios are in good agreement with Sco field modified theoretical values, thus supporting the basic assumptions in that theory. From the present K-beta/K-alpha intensity ratios, it is evide nt that due to chemical effects, the experimental K-beta/K-alpha intensity ratios will be increased while they will be decreased due to the presence o f simultaneous M-shell vacancies which are produced due to proton excitatio n.
