L-i (i=1,2, and 3) X-ray fluorescence cross sections have been measured for seven elements in the atomic range 55 less than or equal toZ less than or equal to 62 at 15.73 keV. The values of L-i subshell fluorescence yields (omega (1), omega (2), and omega (3)) have been measured for the same elements using the presently measured cross section values and the theoretical L-i subshell photoionization cross sections, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities, and emission rates. The measured X-ray fluorescence (XRF) cross section values are in general agreement with the theoretical values evaluated using L subshell fluorescence yields, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities, emission rates, and subshell photoionization cross sections. Furthermore, the L subshell fluorescence yield values are good agreement with the theoretical values.
