Observation ofKHypersatellites andKLSatellites in the X-Ray Spectrum of DoublyK-Ionized Gallium

Abstract

The $K$ x-ray spectrum arising from doubly $K$-ionized gallium atoms has been studied by means of a coincidence experiment with two solid-state detectors. A new energy range in $K$ x-ray spectra (hypersatellite range) is observed. Hypersatellite lines are shifted about 15 times more than the usual satellite lines. The $K$-satellite spectrum following $\mathrm{KL}$-ionized states has also been studied.
