PHOTOEFFECT FROM THE L SHELL

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
The differential cross section for photoeffect from an atomic shell is shown to be almost independent of principal quantum number, apart from normalization, for energies well above threshold. The high-energy limits of the cross sections for the three L subshells are calculated exactly with methods previously applied to the K shell, and extrapolations are made to cover the entire high-energy region. A procedure is indicated to account for the effects of electron screening. It is found that the contribution from p subshells is not negligible in heavy elements. Agreement with experiment is good.
