Measurement of K shell absorption and fluorescence parameters for the elements Mo, Ag, Cd, In and Sn using a weak gamma source

K shell fluorescence parameters such as fluorescence yield, fluorescence cross section and absorption jump factor for pure elemental targets of Mo, Ag, Cd, In and Sn have been determined by adopting a 2π geometrical configuration. The K x-ray photons are excited in the target using 123.6 keV gamma rays from a weak 57 Co source, and detected with a GMX 10P HPGe detector coupled to an 8K multichannel analyser. Measured values of these parameters have been compared with theoretical and others' experimental values.
