Abstract

The total photon interaction cross sections for five elements (Cr, Ni, Cu, Ag and Pb) in the range 24< z < 82 at photon energy 279.30 keV have been measured. The photoelectric cross sections at this photon energy have been deduced by subtracting the scattering cross sections from the measured values of total interaction cross sections.The results have been compared with corresponding theoretical values available in the literature.
