Measurement of the Kβ/Kαyield ratios of Cu, Mo and Cd stimulated by 59.54 keV photons

Measurements of the K beta /K alpha yield ratios of Cu, Mo and Cd have been carried out by stimulating the emission of K characteristic radiation by 59.54 keV monochromatic photons. The Cu results agree well with the average of those previously obtained in experiments with weakly ionising radiation while the Cd ratio is measured for the first time and the Mo value is added in a Z region poorly explored in the past.
