The results of experiments performed, measuring the L alpha x-rays emitted by Au due to excitation by photons of various energies from an Am-241 sample at forward-scattered angles in the range 0 degrees to 65 degrees, 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 L alpha and L beta x-rays suggests that PENELOPE does not simulate the phenomena described by Flugge et al. (1972).
