K x-ray relative transition probabilities for 39⩽Z⩽68

In this paper we report the measurements of the K x-ray relative transition probabilities as follows: K-beta/K-alpha for the atomic numbers Z = 39, 51, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67 and 68; and K-alpha2/k(alpha1), k(beta1)(1)/k(alpha1), k(beta2)(1)/k(beta1)1, and k(beta3)/k(beta2) for the atomic numbers Z = 62, 63, 64, 66, 67 and 68 as induced by protons at an energy of 3 MeV. The experimental results obtained are then compared with relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations.
