Photon attenuation coefficients and cross section data 100 eV to 100 GeV. Current status and propects. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6157841
Recent advances in theoretical and experimental information on photon-atom collision processes (photoelectric absorption, coherent and incoherent scattering, and pair and triplet production) are discussed. Emphasis is on recent pair and triplet production cross section calculations 1 MeV-100 GeV, and also on an International union of Crystallography project to develop x-ray attenuation coefficient measurement standards in the 0.5 to 50 keV region and to coordinate measurements in progress aimed at resolving existing serious discrepancies in available data. Some preliminary results from the IUCr project are presented.
