Study of the Attenuation of X-rays to Some Elements Based on Atomic Number

Abstract

In this research the attenuation coefficient of X-ray to some selected elements based on atomic number were studied as a function of different thicknesses for Aluminum foils was studied and revealed exponential relation. Also different martials for the same thickness was conducted which is revealed that the attenuation coefficient depend on the atomic number (z) beside the crystal structure of atom (fcc, sc, bcc).
