Reevaluation ofL2-Subshell Coster-Kronig Transition Probability and Fluorescence Yield belowZ=81

Abstract
Recently published experimental values of the L2L3 total Coster-Kronig and L2-subshell fluorescence yields for Z=65, 70, 73, and 80 have been corrected for the presence of the unresolved Lη[L2M1] x-ray line in the Lα[L3M4,5] x-ray group. It is shown that this appreciable correction does not explain the discrepancy between experiment and theory.
