Mass Attenuation Coefficients

Mass Attenuation Coefficients is a physical quantity that characterizes the fractional rate of photon attenuation per unit mass thickness of a material, distinguishing it from linear attenuation coefficients by normalizing for material density and enabling comparison across different shielding substances in the context of gamma-ray and X-ray interactions.
