Photon interaction measurements of certain compounds in the energy range 30–660 keV

The total photon interaction cross sections at six energies in the energy range 30–660 keV are determined in ten compounds, (NaNO 3 , KNO 3 , Sr(NO 3 ) 2 , NaCl, SrCl 2 ∙6H 2 O, BaCl 2 ∙2H 2 O, NaClO 3 , (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 , MgSO 4 ∙7H 2 O, and K 2 SO 4 ) using a NaI(Tl) scintillation spectrometer in a good geometry setup. Analysis of the experimental data in terms of cross sections and effective atomic numbers is presented.
