Summary
| Description |
English: Plot showing the relative importance of the photoelectric effect, Compton scattering and pair production with different Z and mean photon energy. Data taken from the NIST XCOM database. For any given element (atomic number Z) a star is added at the energy where the cross section value for the process on the right becomes larger than the cross section value for the process on the left. For calcium (Z=20), Compton scattering starts to dominate at hυ=0.08 MeV and ceases at 12 MeV. |
