Abstract

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.

Alyssum pateri subsp. prostratum Bitkisinin Kütle Azaltma Katsayılarının ve Molar Yok-Olma Katsayılarının Ölçülmesi

Abstract

Alyssum pateri subsp. prostratum bitkisinin bazı kısımlarının (kök, toprak üstü ve çiçek) kütle azaltma
katsayıları ve molar yok-olma katsayıları 13.92 ve 59.54 keV enerji aralığında
bir Si(Li) detektör ve ²⁴¹Am nokta kaynağı kullanılarak ölçülmüştür.
Sunulan bu çalışmada, bitkisel
materyalin farklı organları için elde edilen deneysel kütle azaltma
katsayıları ve molar yok-olma katsayıları teorik hesaplanan değerler ile
karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, deneysel değerler ile WinXCOM program
kullanılarak hesaplanan teorik değerler arasında iyi bir uyum olduğunu
göstermiştir.
