Scattering Cross Sections

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.

Theoretical Results

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.

Inner Parts

In this work we expand the previous discussion of the plausibility of hypothesis of origin of the Ly? forest absorption systems in haloes of normal galaxies in connection with the HubbleDeepField (HDF) data. It is shown that simplistic approach to absorption cross-sections of galaxies with no luminosity scaling is in strong violation of empirical statistics up to redshift of z ? 3.5. Realistic variation of the covering factor in order to account for its increase in the inner parts of observed haloes leads to even bigger discrepancy. Cosmologies with finite cosmological constant are briefly discussed and compared to ? = 0 case. Ways to improve agreement with observational data are indicated. This problem is highly illustrative of the basic tenets of modern observational cosmology.
