L-shell x-ray production for Rh, Ag, Cd, Sb and I with protons in the energy range from 1.6 to 5.2 MeV

Individual , , , and x-ray production cross sections for the elements Rh, Ag, Cd, Sb and I have been measured by protons in the energy range 1.6 to 5.2 MeV. The experimental results for x-ray production cross sections and cross section ratios are compared with the RPWBA - BC theoretical predictions and with the other available experimental data. The influence of using different databases for atomic parameters in the conversion of theoretical L-shell ionization cross sections to the L-shell x-ray production cross sections is discussed.
