Total attenuation cross sections, total and K-shell photoeffect cross sections, K-jump ratios, and total to K-shell photoeffect cross section ratios at the K-edges of the elements copper, zirconium, silver, tin, tantalum, gold, and lead are extracted from our earlier studies on total attenuation cross sections on these elements. These are compared with the latest and extensively tabulated theoretical photoeffect cross sections of Scofield and agreement within experimental uncertainty is observed. Further, empirical relations for K-edge cross sections and ratios are obtained, and the values of constants in these relations are tabulated. These empirical relations are found to reproduce the values to an accuracy better than one percent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
