.Abstract
Effective atomic numbers (Zeff) and electron densities (Nel) of some alkali halides CuCl, RbI and CsBr have been calculated for the total and partial photon interactions. The mass attenuation coefficients for the wide energy range 1 keV-100 GeV has been obtained from WinXCom. Variation of mass attenuation coefficients as a function of energy are shown graphically. The maximum values of Zeff and Nel are found in the low-energy range, where photoelectric absorption is the main interaction process.
