Abstract

Total attenuation cross sections of copper and silver have been measured in the energy range 5 to 85 keV in a narrow beam good geometry set up using X- and gamma-rays emitted from radio isotopes, by employing a high resolution hyper pure germanium detector. From the measured values, the photoeffect cross-sections have been derived by subtracting a small contribution of the sum of the theoretical coherent and incoherent scattering cross sections. The photoeffect cross-sections so obtained are found to be in better agreement with the unrenormalized values of Scofield 10]. These photoeffect cross-sections have been used to evaluate the dispersion corrections (also called anomalous scattering factors) f(+) and f'' for the forward Rayleigh scattering amplitude by a numerical evaluation of the dispersion integral that relates them at the energies at which the cross-sections have been measured. To the f(+) values so obtained, the relativistic corrections proposed by different investigators are included separately and the values f' so obtained are compared with the available data and discussed. Possible conclusions are drawn From the present study.
