Abstract

Measurements of mass (μ/ρ) and linear (μ) attenuation coefficients of silver in the energy range 0.360Mev to 1.33Mev have been carried out under narrow-collimated-beam method with scintillation detector. The values of mass (μ/ρ) and linear (μ) attenuation coefficients thus obtained are found to be in good agreement with the values computed theoretically available in the literature by J.H.Hubbell and S.M. Seltzer [Tables of X-Ray Mass Attenuation coefficients (1995).
