Energy dependent γ-ray attenuation studies on Cs halides & determination of photon interaction parameters

Abstract

Experimental determination of mass attenuation coefficient (μm) of Cs halides at different γ-energies has been taken up. Mixture rule is used to calculate the values of μm of compounds. Experimentally determined μm is compared with the calculated and X-Com values. Other physical parameters of the Cs halides are evaluated using the experimental, calculated and the X-Com values of μm and are reported for first time.
