Abstract:
The alignment of theM3 subshell of gold following proton impact ionization was studied with projectile energies in the range from 160 keV up to 5MeV. The experiments were performed by measuring the polarization of emittedM X-rays be means of a 5 in. Johansson crystal spectrometer. A good agreement of the experimental data and the results of theoretical SCA calculations was found.
