Abstract
The narrow beam attenuation coefficient of air was measured at 5.895 keV. An 55Fe source of Mn x rays with a CrKβ filter and a collimated low‐energy sodium iodide counter were used. The photon intensity as a function of the source‐detector distance was determined in vacuum and in atmospheric air. The value of the measured coefficient is 24.55±0.25 cm2/g.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
