THE EGS5 CODE SYSTEM

Table 2.7: L x-ray energies and representative intensities (relative to L α1 ) for lead. The relative
intensities in this table are taken from Storm and Israel [167], and were derived using a representative
energy. EGS5 explicitly models the energy dependence of the relative frequency at which L-
sub-shell vacancies are created.
