Abstract

X-ray production cross sections were found for films of Cr, Cu, Ge, Ag, W and Au, using incident H⁺ and Be⁺ ions at energies from 300 keV to 3.5 MeV. These experimental cross section results were compared with the cross section results obtained using software which calculates inner shell ionization and X-ray production cross sections. The software uses the ECPSSR-UA approach to finding X-ray production cross sections. This program was found to be useful for predicting cross sections for H⁺ and Be⁺ ions at the energies in this study. The software was then used to predict results for Li⁺, Be⁺ and B⁺ ions at 280 keV, energies available in the Arizona State University focused ion beam laboratory.
