Abstract
In this study the value of linear and mass attenuation coefficients of Aluminum element (Al) were determinated by using x-ray Cu-tube of energies CuKα (8.048) KeV, CuKβ (8.906) KeV, and Mo-tube of energies MoKα (17.480) KeV and MoKβ (19.609) KeV.the voltage between the two electrodes are up to 35 KV.The measured values are compared with other experimental data showing a general agreement within a precision of 0.2% - 0.8%.
The mass attenuation cross-sections were thus derived and compared with other experimental data available on database of x-ray attenuation cross-sections. The agreement is always within ±7%.
