Empirical M X-ray production cross sections for heavy elements by protonimpact within Z-dependence analysis

Özet

New empirical M-shell X-ray production cross sections have been deduced by introducing the dependenceof the universal trend of the experimental data on the atomic number of the target, noted as \Z-dependence" forsemiempirical cross sections in our previous work. For this effect, the updated experimental data (from 1980 to 2009)are used to calculate the empirical cross sections for heavy elements with 60 Z 90 by proton impact. Finally, acomparison is made between the deduced results and other earlier works.
