The K and L shell x-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross sections for elements with 13 {le} Z {le} 92 and 35 {le} Z {le} 92, respectively, are calculated for an incident photon energy range 1-200 keV. The XRF cross sections for K{alpha}, K{beta}, Ll, L{alpha}, L{beta}, and L{gamma} groups of x rays are tabulated. These calculations use the comprehensive sets of physical parameters currently considered most reliable, namely, theoretical partial photoionization cross sections and x-ray emission rates of Scofield, K shell fluorescence yields compiled by Hubbell, and L{sub i} subshell fluorescence yields, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities, and K to L{sub i} subshell vacancy-transfer probabilities based on the Dirac-Hartree-Slater model. 28 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
