X-Ray Yields in the $K$ and $L$ Series of Low- $Z$ Muonic Atoms

Experiments are reported which remove the discrepancies between the earlier observed

K

and

L

x-ray yields from low-

Z

muonic atoms and those calculated from theory. We have made direct measurements of the

\frac{K}{L}

yield ratios for targets of

4 \leq Z \leq 8

and a determination of the absolute

K

x-ray yield for

Z = 3

. They agree excellently with the calculated values.
