A method for measuring the X-ray attenuation coefficients for elements with 79 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 92 at the excitation energy of 121.9 keV (Gamma-rays emitted by Co-57 radioisotope source) is described. The accuracy is greatly improved by intensity ratio measurements of infinitely thin and thick targets; thus the uncertainties in the fundamental parameters are eliminated.
