This work pro poses a math e mat i cal func tion for de scrib ing the de pend ence of mass at ten u ation co ef fi cients vs. en ergy for com pos ite ma te ri als in the range of 100 keV to 2 MeV. The obtained re sults show that the pro posed func tion is ca pa ble of ac cu rately de scrib ing the data with a co ef fi cient of de ter mi na tion of ap prox i mately 1 for all in ves ti gated ma te ri als. Us ing the pro posed math e mat i cal func tion, the mass at ten u a tion co ef fi cients were in ter po lated and com pared with the re sults from the Monte Carlo sim u la tion. The re sults show good agreement when the sim u lated to in ter po lated mass at ten u a tion co ef fi cient ra tios are in the range from 0.95 to 1.05. More over, the val ues of in ter po lated mass at ten u a tion co ef fi cients have also been com pared with the ex per i men tal data in the pre vi ous works which in di cates that most of these ra tios range from 0.9 to 1.1.
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.
