Using high-resolution and high-e5ciency high-purity Ge Gamma-X detectors, relative intensities of K x rays of elements with Z =79-82 have been very accurately (uncertainty =1%)determined. Comparison of the data with other experimental works and theoretical calculations have been done. It is seen that a theory with the exchange efFect taken into consideration is quite adequate to explain the radiative transition rates for the elements measured in the present work.PACS number(s): 32.30.Rj, 32.70.Fw

“…The energy resolution of Si detectors is, however, not sufficient for the detection of the K-X rays of Li and Be with energies below 100 eV because of the small amount of generated charge in Si detectors. In addition, the detection efficiency for K-X rays of high atomic number elements such as Pb (greater than 80 keV) is very low: less than 3% for a 3 mm-thick Si(Li) detector [1]. Photon detectors with high detection efficiencies for X-rays with energies in the tens of keV and with improved energy resolution for X-rays below 100 eV are necessary for the detection of these hazardous elements.…”
