A study of the M-shell fluorescence yields of lead
Abstract
The modes of decay of the M-shell vacancies in lead atoms were studied by means of a wall-less proportional counter spectrometer with lead in the form of lead-tetraethyle admixed to the working gas of the counter. The vacancies in consecutive M-subshells of the lead atoms were produced by the photoelectric absorption of the characteristic K-radiation of elements from Cl to V. The following M-shell fluorescence yields were extracted: overlineωM = 0.032 ± 0.003, overlineω2-5 = 0.030 ± 0.003, overlineω3-5 = 0.030 ± 0.002 overlineω4,5 ≥ 0.029 .
