MassAttenuationCoefficient¶

class roentgen.absorption.MassAttenuationCoefficient(material)[source]¶

The mass attenuation coefficient.

Parameters: material_str (str) – A string representation of the material which includes an element symbol (e.g. Si), an element name (e.g. Silicon), or the name of a compound (e.g. cdte, mylar).

data¶

The mass attenuation data values.

energy¶

The energy values of the mass attenuation values.

symbol¶

The material symbol

name¶

The material name

func¶

A function which returns the interpolated mass attenuation value at any given energy. Energies must be given by an astropy.units.Quantity.
