Linear Attenuation Coefficients. Linear attenuation coefficient is measured using the following setup. Using small detector to avoid the effect of Compton scattered photons on the measured linear attenuation coefficient.
Attenuation Coefficients Linear attenuation coefficient µ: The probability of an interaction per unit distance traveled. µ has the dimensions of inverse length (eg. cm-1). N =N e−µx 0 The coefficient µ depends on photon energy and on the material being traversed. Radiation Interactions: photons Page 9 of 13
Linear Attenuation Coefficients. Monochromatic photons are attenuated exponentially in a uniform target. The number of photons in a pencil beam interact within a small distance dx is. dN = -μ Ndx. where μ is the linear attenuation coefficient and the solution to the above differential equation is.
Linear Attenuation Coefficients. Table of Linear Attenuation Coefficients (in cm-1) for different materials at photon energies of 100, 200, and 500 keV.
Linear Attenuation Coefficients – Tables. Table of Linear Attenuation Coefficients (in cm-1) for different materials at gamma-ray energies of 100, 200, and 500 keV.
The linear energy absorption attenuation coefficient can be considered the fraction of energy removed from the photons by the shielding medium per centimeter of shielding or the fraction of energy absorbed.
