High resolution of K X-ray spectrum of 30 MeV chlorine ion beam

Abstract

The K X-ray spectrum from a 30 MeV chlorine ion beam was measured as it was stopped in aluminium. The spectrum exhibits six lines located approximately half way between the K_{alpha 1,2} and K_{beta 1,3} lines of chlorine. These lines can be interpreted as K_alpha transitions with various 2p shell vacancies and with the M shell electrons partially stripped.
