X-Ray Attenuation Coefficients from 10 KEV to 100 MEV
Abstract
A tabulation of attenuation coefficients of X-rays and gamma rays from 0.01 to 100 Mev for 29 materials is presented. A summary of information on the probability of the basic interaction processes of photons with matter and a detailed analysis of experimental and theoretical evidence are included. Present information on the basic processes is adequate for many applications; however, improved theory and additional experimental data are needed in certain areas. A comparison of calculated and experimental coefficients points up this need.
