In this study, half-value thicknesses and mass attenuation coefficients of polyethylene absorber have been measured experimentally using the beta sources 99Tc, 147Pm, 137Cs, 204Tl, 210Pb and 36Cl. There is an inconsistency between experimental and calculated values of half value thicknesses obtained with the help of standard attenuation equation. In order to overcome this discrepancy, the fractional attenuation equation which was redefined and resolved using Caputo fractional derivative has been used. The theoretical results obtained according to this new equation are in agreement with experimental results around 0.3 value of the order of fractional derivative.

The effective atomic numbers and electron densities of some synthesized triazoles were determined using the experimental values of total mass attenuation coefficients at 13.93, 17.77, 26.34, and 59.54 keV photon energies. The measurements were performed in a transmission geometry that consists of a Si(Li) detector, an 241Am point source and a target. The measured results were compared with two different theoretical results. The measured results are generally consistent with the theoretical results. It is observed that the measured parameters depend on the photon energy, weighted contributions of the individual atoms within the triazoles, atom number in the triazoles, and chemical composition of triazoles. Also, the effective electron density increases linearly with increasing effective atomic number.

The effective atomic numbers and electron densities for the pure elemental forms of gadolinium (Gd), dysprosium (Dy), erbium (Er), and ytterbium (Yb), and some of their selected complexes, were obtained from the measured total mass attenuation coefficients at 13.92, 17.75, 20.78, 26.34, and 59.54 keV photon energies using a high-resolution Si(Li) detector by adopting transmission geometry. The measured results were compared with two different theoretical results. Within experimental deviations, our data are in good agreement with the theoretical values. The obtained parameters were also interpreted with some selected chemical parameters.

X-ray mass attenuation coefficients for polycrystalline samples of copper have been measured with a high-precision energy-dispersive method. Estimates of the scattering contributions to the attenuation coefficients are made. The photoelectric coefficients deduced from the experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations using screened hydrogen-like eigenfunctions as well as more rigorous relativistic wavefunctions.

In this paper, we present a convergent collocation method with which to find the numerical solution of a generalized fractional integro-differential equation (GFIDE). The presented approach is based on the collocation method using Jacobi poly-fractonomials. The GFIDE is defined in terms of the B-operator introduced recently, and it reduces to Caputo fractional derivative and other fractional derivatives in special cases. The convergence and error analysis of the proposed method are also established. Linear and nonlinear cases of the considered GFIDEs are numerically solved and simulation results are presented to validate the theoretical results.
