Classification of forbidden transitions in X-ray spectra

Abstract
After a critical examination of the available data on x-ray forbidden transitions, it has been found possible to classify the so-called forbidden transitions as electric quadrupole, electric octupole, distinctly magnetic dipole and an admixture of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions. The necessity for studying the individual contributions in the x-ray field has been pointed out. It is significant that a transition corresponding to Δl = 3 and Δj = 2 or 3 is now definitely known for elements Ta 73, Pb 82, Bi 83 and Th 90.
