Fig. 27.16: The photon mass attenuation length (or mean free path) λ = 1/(µ/ρ) for various elemental absorbers as a functionof photon energy. The mass attenuation coefficient is µ/ρ, where ρ is the density. The intensity I remaining after traversal ofthickness t (in mass/unit area) is given by I = I0 exp(−t/λ). The accuracy is a few percent. For a chemical compound ormixture, 1/λeff ≈
∑elements wZ/λZ , where wZ is the proportion by weight of the element with atomic number Z. The processes
responsible for attenuation are given in Fig. 27.10. Since coherent processes are included, not all these processes result in energydeposition. The data for 30 eV < E < 1 keV are obtained from http://www-cxro.lbl.gov/optical constants (courtesy ofEric M. Gullikson, LBNL). The data for 1 keV < E < 100 GeV are from http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData, throughthe courtesy of John H. Hubbell (NIST).

Figure 27.17: Probability P that a photon interactionwill result in conversion to an e+e− pair. Except for afew-percent contribution from photonuclear absorptionaround 10 or 20 MeV, essentially all other interactions inthis energy range result in Compton scattering off an atomicelectron. For a photon attenuation length λ (Fig. 27.16),the probability that a given photon will produce an electronpair (without first Compton scattering) in thickness t ofabsorber is P [1 − exp(−t/λ)].
27.4.6. Photonuclear and electronuclear interactions at stillhigher energies : At very high photon and electron energies,where the bremsstrahlung and pair production cross-sectionsare heavily suppressed by the LPM effect, photonuclear andelectronuclear interactions predominate over electromagneticinteractions. At photon energies above about 1020 eV, forexample, photons usually interact hadronically. The exact cross-over energy depends on the model used for the photonuclearinteractions. At still higher energies (>∼ 1023 eV), photonuclearinteractions can become coherent, with the photon interactionspread over multiple nuclei. Essentially, the photon coherentlyconverts to a ρ0, in a process that is somewhat similar to kaonregeneration [54].
27.5. Electromagnetic cascades
When a high-energy electron or photon is incident on athick absorber, it initiates an electromagnetic cascade as pairproduction and bremsstrahlung generate more electrons andphotons with lower energy. The longitudinal development isgoverned by the high-energy part of the cascade, and thereforescales as the radiation length in the material. Electron energieseventually fall below the critical energy, and then dissipate theirenergy by ionization and excitation rather than by the generationof more shower particles. In describing shower behavior, it istherefore convenient to introduce the scale variables
t = x/X0 , y = E/Ec , (27.32)
so that distance is measured in units of radiation length andenergy in units of critical energy.
Longitudinal profiles from an EGS4 [55] simulation of a 30GeV electron-induced cascade in iron are shown in Fig. 27.18.The number of particles crossing a plane (very close to Rossi’s
