Abstract

Effective atomic numbers (Zeff) and electron densities (Nel) of some alkali halides CuCl, RbI and CsBr have been calculated for the total and partial photon interactions. The mass attenuation coefficients for the wide energy range 1 keV-100 GeV has been obtained from WinXCom. Variation of mass attenuation coefficients as a function of energy are shown graphically. The maximum values of Zeff and Nel are found in the low-energy range, where photoelectric absorption is the main interaction process. Compton scattering is the main interaction process in intermediate energy region. At high energies, pair production is the main dominating interaction process. The average values of Zeff and Nel have been also calculated for photoelectric absorption, coherent, incoherent, pair production in the field of electric and nuclear. It has been observed that Zeff and Nel values vary as energy varies, they are not true constants of the material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
