X-Ray Attenuation-Coefficient Measurements

Abstract
X-ray attenuation coefficients were measured in the energy range of 25 keV to 130 keV for the following elements: Be, C, Mg, Al, S, Ti, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Ag, Sn, La, Gd, Hf, W, Au, Pb, Th, U, and Pu. Narrow beam collimation was used with a Bragg diffraction monochromator. Experimental errors were less than 2% for most of the measurements.
