Bibliography of photon total cross section (attenuation coefficient) measurements 10 eV to 13. 5 GeV, 1907-1993

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7203747
A bibliography is presented of papers reporting absolute measurements of photon (XUV, x-ray, gamma-ray, bremsstrahlung) total interaction cross sections or attenuation coefficients for the elements and some compounds. The energy range covered is from 10 eV to above 10 GeV. These papers are part of the reference collection of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Photon and Charged Particle Data Center. They cover the period from 1907 through 1993 and into 1994. Thus this report is an update of the 1986 earlier report NBSIR 86-3461 (PB87-116141), and also includes additional papers dating back as far as 1966 which have since been found or brought to the attention of the author. Included with each reference are annotations specifying the energy range covered and the substances studied. This updated bibliography now includes 573 non-duplicative references to available measured data, plus 42 references to critical evaluations and review articles.
