Hubbell, J H

Recent developments in theoretical and experimental cross sections for the basic photon interactions with atoms (photoeffect, coherent and incoherent scattering, and electron-positron pair production) are reviewed. Emphasis is on the extensive total and subshell photoeffect calculations by J. Scofield, and on atomic form factor and incoherent scattering function data calculated by D. Cromer and by R. Brown. Some comparisons of these theoretical results with available explicit cross section and total attenuation coefficient measurements are presented.
