Abstract
The escape peak-to-photopeak intensity ratios and escape fractions of characteristic It X-rays, as a function of incident radiation energy in the range 15.75-50 keV and collimator diameter (or area seen by the crystal), are measured for a Ge(Li) detector. The experimental results are compared with theoretical predictions.
