K x-ray satellite intensities with proton impact on Al to Fe at a fixed scaled velocity

The K x-ray satellite intensities were measured with proton impact at a scaled velocity (relative to that of the L-shell electron) VL=2.1 for Z=13-20 and VL=1.0 for Z=20-26. The intensity ratios IK,1LIK,0L are found to be well characterized by multiple-Coulomb ionization predictions. Taking into account the fluorescence yields, the comparisons of the measured intensity ratio with the corresponding ratio of theoretical vacancy cross sections yield a set of empirical vacancy-rearrangement correction factors. Theoretical estimates of these factors based on the atomic transition rates of McGuire are in reasonable over-all agreement with the extracted values.
