Abstract

The method adopted hitherto for measurement of the L₂ subshell fluorescence and Coster-Kronig yields omega ₂, f₂₃, in the region Z>or=90 is shown to be extremely sensitive to the value assumed for the intensity ratio L_alpha/L_beta of x-rays arising from L₃ vacancies; a recent result for f₂₃ is altered by a factor of 3 when the Hartree-Slater value of this ratio is used. More direct methods of studying L₂ subshell yields are proposed.
