Abstract
This x-ray transition table provides the energies for K transitions
connecting the K shell (n = 1) to the shells with
principal quantum numbers n = 2 to 4 and L transitions
connecting the L1, L2, and L3 shells
(n = 2) to the shells with principal quantum numbers
n = 3 and 4. The elements covered include
Z = 10, neon to Z = 100, fermium. There are
two unique features of this database: (1) all experimental values are on a
scale consistent with the International System of measurement (the SI) and the
numerical values are determined using constants from the Recommended Values of the Fundamental
Physical Constants: 1998 [115] and
(2) accurate theoretical estimates are included for all transitions. The
user will find that for many of the transitions, the experimental and
theoretical values are very consistent. It is our hope that the theoretical
values will provide a useful estimate for missing or poorly measured
experimental values.
This database was published in Reviews of Modern Physics, January 2003
[116] in an article titled "X-ray transition
energies: new approach to a comprehensive evaluation." In order to respect page
limitations, the numerical values are given only in eV and the sorting is only by
element. However, the text that discusses the generation of the theoretical and
experimental databases provides more details than are given in the text that
accompanies this online database.
