In the present work, we have calculated the L-subshell ionization cross section of Ag by proton impact in the energy range of 1 Mev. – 5

Mev. Using Semi classical approximation (SCA) model. It is seen that there is good agreement between theory and experiment for Ag for all three –sub-shells. It is therefore concluded that the SCA model provides a reasonably good and reliable estimates of the L-sub-shell ionization cross-section to start with in order to understand the ionization process occurring in the collisions between proton and the heavy atoms in the considered impact energy range.

Keywords : Cross Section, Impact, Collision.

INTRODUTION :

Measuements of L-subshell cross section are relatively complicated compared with that of K-shell. This is because of two basic reasons –
(1) Experimental difficulties arise due to low L-x-ray energies for sufficient accuracy and resolution.
(2) L-shell contains 3-sub-shells 2, 2, 2 which makes
the energy levels more complicated in comparison to that of a

K-shell. L

The L-sub-shell x-ray production cross section of Ag by proton impact in the energy range of 0.6 – 5.0 MeV have been measured by Rosato.1
In the present work, we have calculated the L-sub-shell ionization cross section for Ag. By proton impact in the energy range of
1 Mev – 5 Mev using the semi-classical approximation (SCA) model.3
The results of calculation have been compared with experimental data of Rassto.

Following conditions are specified by the SCA model :
(1) Point charge behaves as a centre of force which moves along the classical trajectory (say a straight) line or a parabola (AB or AB’).
(2) The electronic states of the target atom are represented by the hydrogenise wave function.
(3) The approximation consider only one electron in the
ionization process.
(4) The experimental binding energy of the active electron is taken to be the threshold ionization energy.

It should be stressed that the scaling relation represented by eqn. (5) and (7) is not exact.
However for most of the projectile energy region of interest the scaling procedure is valid to within a few percent.
For high energy region , the scaling relation gradually

The theoretical SCA values are dependent on the projectile velocity. Therefore, in the case of projectile heavier than protons, the quality E is Eqn. (5) should be replaced by the magnitude of the incident energy per atomic unit.

RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :

Our calculations using the SCA model have been performed for different collision systems. The experimental data of Rosato2 are shown in the figure by circles for direct comparison with our calculations.
It is seen that there is a good agreement between theory and experiment for two targets, namely Ag for all three L-sub-shells.
It is, therefore, concluded that the SCA model provides a reasonably good and reliable estimates of the L-sub-shell ionization cross sections to start with in order to understand the ionization process occurring in the collusions between proton and the heavy
forget atoms in the considered impact energy range.
