Passage of Energetic Particles Through Matter

Abstract

This report collects cross sections for photons passing through matter. A thorough discussion of the background physics is provided, together with graphs for many processes. This material, together with additional similar material for electrons, heavy ions (protons and heavier) and neutrons, is to be published by IOP Publishing, in late 2004 or early 2005.
