Abstract
Characteristic -shell x rays produced when protons of 60- to 500-keV energy are stopped in thick targets of magnesium, aluminum, and copper have been studied using a proportional counter of conventional design. The thick target yields were measured. The x-ray production cross sections have been calculated for the shells. Ionization cross sections have been estimated and were found to be smaller than the values predicted by the Born approximation in all cases.
