Production and absorption of
X-rays; Moseley's law; fine structure of the K
lines of the elements. A cooled intrinsic germanium
solid-state X-ray detector is used to measure
the spectra of X-rays under a variety of circumstances
that illustrate several of the important phenomena
of X-ray physics. Phenomena observed and measured
include the production of X-rays by fluorescent
excitation, bremsstrahlung, and electron-positron
annihilation and the absorption of X-rays by photoelectric
interactions, Compton scattering, and pair production.
The energies of the K X-ray
lines of numerous elements are measured and compared
with the predictions of Moseley's Law. The energy
separations and relative intensities of the Ka
and Kb lines are measured and compared with the
theory of fine structure in the n=2 orbitals.
