Measurement of Mass Attenuation Coefficients and Molar Extinction Coefficients of Alyssum pateri subsp. prostratum

The mass attenuation coefficients and molar extinction coefficients of specific parts (root, aerial part and flower) of Alyssum pateri subsp. prostratum have been measured employing a Si(Li) detector in the energy range between 13.92 and 59.54 keV using an 241Am point source. In the present study, the obtained experimental mass attenuation coefficients and molar extinction coefficients for different organs of plant material were compared with the theoretical calculated values for same samples. The results have been shown that the experimental values are in a good agreement with the calculated theoretical values using WinXCOM program
