Fluorescence yields for the rhodium L shell

Individual L-subshell fluorescence yields and the average L-shell fluorescence yield have been measured for rhodium (Z=45). A graphite mosaic crystal spectrometer was employed to resolve the LX-ray spectrum from the decay of 17 d ¹⁰³Pd. The average fluorescence yields, omega _L and omega _KL, were measured in singles and coincidence experiments using Si(Li) and Ge(Li) detectors. Satellites from the decay of double-vacancy states in the L shell were detected and included in the analysis which yielded: omega ₁/ omega _L=0.411+or-0.013, omega ₂/ omega _L=0.927+or-0.021, omega ₃/ Omega _L=0.941+or-0. 038, omega _L=0.038+or-0.04, omega _KL=0.036+or-0.06.
