Figure 7. Attenuation in Pm (Z = 61), represented by
Im (f) = f2.
[µ/ ] (in
cm2/g) = f2 (e/atom) ×
2.902 09 × 105. Experimental data from Saloman,
Hubbell and Scofield [34]. The extended range
plotted shows the insignificance of Rayleigh scattering for all but the highest
energies plotted (where the contribution reaches 1 %). The lower energy
behavior illustrates the increasing uncertainty at lower energies. The
near-edge structure of the "New Result" follows qualitative
expectations unlike all others shown. |
