A tool for medical physicists to calculate x-ray attenuation for shielding.
A tool for medical physicists to calculate x-ray attenuation for shielding. The tool uses the NIST tables of x-ray mass attenuation coefficients. It's like having the NIST tables in your pocket!It can be used to display characteristic information of elements and compounds (x-ray edges, density, linear mass attenuation graph for a mono-energetic narrow x-ray beam) and to calculate the transmission and attenuation through a layer of a given thickness of any material in the database.If you don't like adds or want to support my work, please buy the PRO version.Recent changes:2011.10: bugfix (forced close on empty field); added missing zoom buttons2011.09 major update: added compounds. achartengine0.7.Content rating: Everyone
