Abstract :
Proton induced x-ray emission (PIXE) by proton beam is one of the very important technique to find out concentration of element present in the sample. Elemental analyses of low Z element by K-x-ray and heavy element (28 < Z < 92) is being done by L- shell x-ray for this, reliable values of K and L X-ray production cross-sections are important. The quantity of the element is directly related to K and L- shell x-ray production cross section. In present work K and L x-ray production cross section has been calculated to remove discrepancy between theory and available experimental data, by ECPSSR theory for target for Cr, Zn and Pb with correction of recoil energy of the proton in energy range 1.0-1.3 MeV. In ion- atom collision, although the recoil energy for low mass ions is not significant but we have seen a significant effect of recoil energy of proton in K and L shell x-ray production cross-section.
