Total absorption cross sections in the elements C, Al, S, Cu, Zr, Ag, Sn, Ta, Au, and Pb for photons of energies 5.0, 5.9, 6.4, 8.1, 10.6, 14.4, 24.7, 32.9, 36.9, 66.6, and 129 keV are measured using a krypton-filled proportional counter in the energy range 5 to 25 keV and a thin NaI(Tl) detector in the energy range 30 to 130 keV. The measured total absorption cross sections are compared with those of Miller and Greening and McCrary, Plassman, Paekett, Conner, and Zimmermann. The scattering cross sections obtained by interpolation using the Atomic Data Tables are subtracted from the total cross sections to obtain the photoelectric cross sections and these are further compared with the recent theoretical values of Scofield.

AbstractWe prove the uniform boundedness of averaged total cross sections or of quantities related to scattering into cones in the semi-classical limit for scattering by two dimensional magnetic fields. We do not necessarily assume that the energy under consideration is in a non-trapping energy range in the sense of classical dynamics.

Photoelectric cross sections for 52.2 and 84.3 keV photons in Al, Cu, Zr, Ag, Sn, Ta, Au, and Pb are obtained by subtracting the total scattering cross sections from the measured total absorption cross sections. The scattering cross sections are taken from the recent tabulated values of Veigele, for subtracting purpose. The results are compared with the values interpolated from the theoretical results of (1) Schmickley and Pratt and (2) Scofield.

Abstract. Accurate Rayleigh scattering and absorption cross-sections of atmospheric gases are essential for understanding the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in planetary atmospheres. Accurate extinction cross-sections are also essential for calibrating high finesse optical cavities and differential optical absorption spectroscopy and for accurate remote sensing. In this study, we measured the scattering and absorption cross-sections of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur hexafluoride, oxygen, and methane in the continuous wavelength range of 307–725 nm using Broadband Cavity Enhanced Spectroscopy (BBCES). The experimentally derived Rayleigh scattering cross-sections for CO2, N2O, SF6, O2, and CH4 agree with refractive index-based calculations, with a difference of 1.5 % and 1.1 %, 1.5 %, 2.9 %, and 1.4 % on average, respectively. The O2-O2 collision-induced absorption and absorption by methane are obtained with high precision at the 0.8 nm resolution of our BBCES instrument in the 307–725 nm wavelength range. New dispersion relations for N2O, SF6, and CH4 were derived using data in the UV-vis wavelength range. This study provides improved refractive index dispersion relations, n-based Rayleigh scattering cross-sections, and absorption cross-sections for these gases.

The total cross sections for electron scattering from He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe in the energy range from 100 eV to 10 000 eV have been calculated based on the optical-model potential. Our theoretical results are compared with the available experimental data. The consistency between them is also discussed. At higher energies (over 2000 eV for He, over 5000 eV for Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe), the total cross sections of electron scattering from these atoms are scarce, so our calculations will give a reference for further experimental and theoretical studies.
