Abstract

This report updates and extends previous NBS tabulations.Section 1 contains the information of most immediate practical use: (a) a tabulation of the attenuation coefficient for 23 elements (iH to 92 U) between 10 keV and 100 GeV and (b) a tabulation of the energy absorption coefficient for air, water, and 18 elements between 10 keV and 10 MeV, and for air, water, and 7 elements up to 100 MeV.Section 2 contains detailed information on the predominant processes (photoelectric absorption, Compton scattering and pair production) and a brief discussion of other processes which combine to give the attenuation coefficient.Theoretical and experimental data are reviewed, and auxiliary tables and approximation formulas are given.Section 3 contains tabulations of cross sections for the predominant processes between 10 keV and 100 GeV for 23 elements and for 13 compounds and mixtures.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
