研究目的
Investigating the accuracy and reliability of mass attenuation coefficients for various elements across a wide photon energy range, particularly focusing on discrepancies at low energies and around absorption edges.
研究成果
The study successfully measured mass attenuation coefficients for several elements with low uncertainties, highlighting significant discrepancies with existing databases at low photon energies and around absorption edges. The results are made available to the community through a dedicated website, contributing to more accurate elemental quantification in X-ray fluorescence analysis.
研究不足
The methodology is limited to elements that can be prepared as thin foils, excluding powders, liquids, or gases. The accuracy is also dependent on the purity of the samples and the stability of the photon source.
