K x‐ray emission spectra were generated by photon excitation to study the Kα hyper‐satellites, KβL 1 , Kβ 5 satellites and KMM RAE structures of the elements 19⩽ Z ⩽25 using a wavelength dispersive spectrometer with LiF 200 and LiF 220 crystals. The Z ‐dependence of the energy shift and relative intensity of these lines with respect to the diagram lines were studied except in the case of KMM RAE constituent peaks, for which only energy shifts were examined. The measured energy shifts and relative intensities are compared with the available theoretical predictions. Three of the constituent peaks in the KMM RAE structure are assigned K‐M 1 M 2 ( 3 P), K‐M 1 M 2 ( 1 P) and K‐M 1 M 1 ( 1 S) transitions. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
