Determination of -spectrometric parameters for some chloride salt solutions

The mass attenuation coecients, atomic cross-sections and e€ective atomic numbers are determined for LiCl, NaCl and KCl solutions with contents up to 0.2 g cmÿ3.The energies used are 0.511, 0.662 and 1.274 keV. The combined results were employed to determine the mass attenuation coecients and atomic cross-sections of the salts and water in the solutions. The results are compared with the calculated values from elemental data. It was found that the mass attenuation coecients and corresponding total cross-sections are, in general, less from measurement than from tabulated data, either for water or for the chloride salts
