MuMassCalculatorLib - A NIST-XCOM derived library for calculating photon photoelectric absorption, scatter and pair-production cross-sections between 1keV and 100GeV (Z≤100).
MuMassCalculator is not a NIST product but most of the data within it were downloaded from the NIST XCOM database and are used with permission. It should be noted that NIST retains copyright on the XCOM data and reserves the right to charge for its use in the future. LazzyIzzi is not currently associated with NIST but was a guest researcher there many years ago. See the XCOM website for more information.
Additional MuMassCalculatorLib methods include computing the bremsstrahlung output of a conventional x-ray source using the Kramers equation and methods for simulating parallel and fan beam sinograms by scanning digital images of linear attenuation using either mono or polychromatic x-rays.
