RESUMEN
The results of experiments performed, measuring the Lα x-rays emitted by Au due to excitation by photons of various energies from an (241)Am sample at forward-scattered angles in the range 0° to 65°, are compared to the predictions of the Monte Carlo code, PENELOPE. The experimental data are in good agreement with the predictions of the program. A comparison of the angular distributions of the probability densities (as predicted by the program) related to the Au Lα and Lß x-rays suggests that PENELOPE does not simulate the phenomena described by Flügge et al. (1972).
