X-ray emission of textured graphite has the angle dependence, that allow to separate the pi- and sigma-electron contribution to the valence band. Yield of fluorescence from carbon nanotubes was measured for two orientation of the sample relative to the direction of X-ray emission. The sample was prepared from the inner part of the deposit forming in the arc-discharge setup and contained about of 90% multiwall carbon nanotubes. The differences between CKa spectra of nanotubes are not so considerable as for spectra of graphite. The widths of pi- and sigma- valence bands for carbon nanotubes was determined from the quantum-chemical simulation of experimental data.
