Abstract

\frac{K β}{K α}

x-ray transition-probability ratios for 16 elements in the range

18 \leq Z \leq 39

were measured with a high-resolution Si(Li) detector. The

K

vacancies were produced by a heavily filtered bremsstrahlung beam from a commercial x-ray tube. Our results agree qualitatively with the theoretical calculations of Scofield but are consistently about 15% higher.
