title: L X-ray satellite effects on the determination of photon emission intensities of radionuclides.
abstract: L X-ray satellites are usually not considered during the fitting procedure of L X-ray spectra obtained with semiconductor detectors. Based on a high energy resolution spectrum of X-rays of (241)Am obtained with a metallic magnetic calorimeter, it has been demonstrated that satellites are intense with respect to their parent diagram line. In addition, it has been shown that the presence of satellites involves significant systematic errors on the determined photon intensities when they are ignored in the spectrum processing.
