Measurements of L{beta} spectra of gold using a high-resolution single-crystal x-ray spectrometer are presented. Energy values and intensities of the L{beta}{sub 2} satellite lines are confirmed by fitting Voigt functions to the observed spectra. Relative intensity ratios of L{beta}{sub 2}, L{beta}{sub 3}, L{beta}{sub 15}, and L{beta}{sub 2} satellite lines are investigated at various excitation energies. The origin of the L{beta}{sub 2} satellite lines, L{beta}{sub 2}{sup '} and L{beta}{sub 2}{sup ''}, are confirmed to be mainly due to the L-LM Coster-Kronig transition, with intensities closely related to the photoionization cross section of the subshell L{sub 1}.
