Measurement of Mass Attenuation Coefficients for Some Potassium Compounds

Abstract

In this study, the mass attenuation coefficients of some potassium compounds (KH 2 PO 4 , KNO 3 , K 2 S 2 O 8 , KOH, K 2 HPO 4 , K 2 SO 4 , KCl, KIO 3, and KI) have been measured by using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (EDXRFS) and a high-resolution Si(Li) detector. Obtained experimental mass attenuation coefficients have been compared with WinXCom and FFAST theoretical values.
