Abstract :
K-shell fluorescence yield for a few low Z elements taken from the database compiled by Kahoul (2012) is studied. Ratio of radiative transition width to radiationless transition width in the atom of the K-shell is estimated. Z dependence of the ratio of the transition widths is tabulated and compared for experimental, theoretical and semi-empirical fit values as reported. The uncertainty in the present work is attributed to the uncertainty in the values of fluorescence yield for K-shell. In the present work we have studied the predominance of Auger process in the electron rearrangement mechanism in the excited atoms in the low Z elements.
