The experiments were performed at HI-13 tandem accelerator at the Chinese Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE), in which the L-shell X-ray relative production cross section was measured for solid targets Au bombarded by 20—50 MeV O5+ions. The ratios of Au L-subshell production cross sections σ(Lβ)/σ(Lα),σ(Lγ)/σ(Lα),σ(Ll)/σ(Lα) have been calculated according to the experimental data. The results are compared with the predictions of the ECPSSR theory. Reasonable agreement between theory and experiment was obtained.
