XXCOM

 

Function

calculate and displays photon-atom cross sections.

 

It interfaces XCOM, a computer program and data base to calculate photon cross sections for scattering, photoelectric absorption and pair production, as well as attenuation coefficients, in any element, compound or mixture, at energies from 1keV to 100GeV
