{ital L}-shell x-ray production cross sections for {ital L}{alpha}{sub 1,2}, {ital L}{gamma}{sub 1}, and {ital L}{gamma}{sub 2,3,(6)} have been measured for {sup 7}Li, {sup 9}Be, {sup 12}C, {sup 14}N, {sup 19}F, and {sup 28}Si on Yb and Au. The energy ranges for the incident ion species were 0.5--3.0 MeV/{mu} for Li, Be, C, and F, and 0.5--2.6 MeV/{mu} for N and Si. Comparisons of the {ital L}{alpha}{sub 1,2} and {ital L}{gamma}{sub 2,3,(6)} x-ray production-cross-section data have been made to the prediction of plane-wave Born-approximation theory and perturbed-stationary-state theory with energy-loss, Coulomb deflection, and relativistic corrections (ECPSSR). The comparison shows that for the {ital L}{gamma}{sub 2,3,(6)} x-ray production cross sections there are problems associated with the ECPSSR theory.
