Abstract
There are very great differences between the non-resonant U M subshell X-ray Emission Spectra of Uranium Dioxide generated with low and high-energy excitation. These different spectra are each supported by theoretical constructs. It will be shown that the differences between these experimental spectra can be reconciled and the utility of both theoretical approaches confirmed, including the use of FEFF in the low energy and high-energy regimes.
