Abstract. K X-ray emission spectra of Ti, V, Cr and Mn generated by

photon excitation have been studied with a crystal spectrometer. The

measured energy shifts of K$_{\alpha}$ satellite relative to the

diagram line are compared with values obtained by electron excitation

and with different theoretical estimates. The present experimental

values of K$_{\alpha}$L$^{1}$/K$_{\alpha}$L$^{0}$ relative

intensities are compared with values obtained by electron

excitation.

Keywords. K X-ray satellites; crystal spectrometer.
