Measurements of attenuation coefficients for uranium L x rays in tissue-equivalent absorber

Creators

Description

The attenuation coefficients at 13.6, 17.2, and 20.2 keV have been measured for a tissue-equivalent material. The results show the material to be marginally suitable for calibration purposes for the detection of 239Pu in vivo
