Mass-attenuation coefficients of beta particles

International Journal of Radiation Applications and Instrumentation. Part A. Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1990
Abstract A method to obtain mass-attenuation coefficients of β particles is described. This method is based upon the simulation of β emission by means of the β energy spectrum. The range of the β particle is chosen as random incidence by means of range distribution of monoenergetic electrons which have the same energy as the β particle.

Mass attenuation coefficients of β+-particles

Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1999
Abstract The beta-spectra for the allowed transition and the first forbidden unique transition are calculated with enough accuracy. By applying them to the semiempirical transmission equation of monoenergetic electrons and positrons, we obtained the mass attenuation coefficients of beta-particles.

Soil mass attenuation coefficient: Analysis and evaluation

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2014
Abstract The mass attenuation coefficient ( μ ) is an important parameter to characterize the penetration and interaction of gamma-rays in the soil. Accurate determinations of μ are important to obtain representative values of soil physical properties by gamma-ray attenuation technique. In this study, the effect of collimator size (2–4 mm diameters)

Photon mass attenuation coefficients of importance to dosimetry

2011 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record, 2011
For Medical imaging and radiation therapy applications photon, of energies less than 1.3 MeV, are commonly utilized. The importance of the data of attenuation coefficients for this energy range cannot be overemphasized. In the past, there were many measurements made using multiple sources and low-resolution scintillation detectors.

Calculation of Mass Attenuation Coefficients of Beta Particles

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 1998
Using the semi-empirical equations for the transmission coefficient of monoenergetic electrons, the mass attenuation coefficient of beta particles has been calculated. Beta spectra for 'allowed' and 'first forbidden' transitions are considered. The calculated mass attenuation coefficients for {beta}- emitters determined in the present study agree ...

Characterization of Mass Attenuation Coefficients as a Function of Experimental Geometry

Instrumentation Science & Technology, 2015
Mass attenuation coefficients of H2O, PbO, and cellulose were determined using 59.5 keV gamma energies with CdTe and NaI (Tl) detectors at five different source-sample distances. The pencil beam method was used to measure the mass attenuation coefficients. All experimental mass attenuation coefficients were compared with simulated results.

Determination of Mass Attenuation Coefficients of Some Semiconductor and Biological Samples

Analytical Letters, 2010
The mass attenuation coefficients for TlGaSe2, GaAs, GaSe, InSe, InSe:Al, InSe:Cd, InSe:Er, InSe:Ho, InSe:Sn, Si single crystals, human teeth, and different filling materials have been determined at different X-ray energies. We utilized X-ray absorption technique and a gravimetric method to determine these coefficients.

A practical method for calculation of mass-attenuation coefficients of β particles

Annals of Nuclear Energy, 2005
Abstract A practical method to calculate mass-attenuation coefficients of β particles has been described. This method is based upon the analytical conclusion of β emission energy spectrum and the range distribution of an individual β particles. The mass-attenuation coefficients are obtained as the slope of the semi-log plot of theoretical calculated ...

Assessing the Accuracy of Mass Attenuation Coefficients for Soft X-ray EPMA

Microscopy and Microanalysis, 2022
AbstractThe use of soft X-rays in electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) has gained renewed interest over the past decades due to the advent of new detector technologies. Because X-ray absorption is the dominant correction for soft X-rays, a reliable set of mass attenuation coefficients (MACs) is needed for accurate composition determination.
