Abstract

L X-ray differential cross-sections of uranium were calculated at several polar scattering angles (85°, 95°, 105°, 115°, 125°, and 135°) at 59.54-keV photon energy by using a Si(Li) detector. We observed that L_l and L_α X-rays were dependent on the polar scattering angle, whereas L_β and L_γ X-rays were independent of the polar scattering angle. Therefore, the anisotropy parameters for L_l and L_α X-rays were obtained using the intensity ratios of L_l to L_γ X-rays and of L_α to L_γ X-rays to reduce some systematic errors.
