Abstract

In this paper, the mass attenuation coefficient (µ̸ ρ) of the compound (SiO2) has been calculated by using a theoretical method depends on deferential cross section, for following interactions (photoelectric, Rayleigh and Compton scattering which taken from tables. The energy band ranged from (1keV – 1 MeV). The graph mass attenuation coefficient verses the energy shows that the miximum mass attenuation coefficients appear at the energy value (1 keV).
