TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive and consistent set of formulas for calculating the effective atomic number and electron density for all types of materials and for all photon energies greater than 1 keV is given.

TL;DR: The effective atomic number, Zeff, the effective electron density, Ne,eff, and the energy dependence, ED, have been calculated at photon energies from 1-keV to 1-GeV for CaO-SrO-B2O3, PbO-Bi2O-3-B 2O3 glasses with potential applications as gamma ray shielding materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the effective atomic numbers and electron densities of essential amino acids histidine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine have been calculated for total and partial photon interactions by the direct method in the wide energy range of 1-keV-100-GeV using WinXCOM.

TL;DR: The effective atomic number, Z(eff), the effective electron density, N(el), and kerma have been calculated for some fatty acids and carbohydrates for photon interaction in the extended energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV using an accurate database of photon-interaction cross sections and the WinXCom program.

TL;DR: In this article, the five-parameter geometric progression (G-P) fitting formula was used for seven thermoluminescent dosimetric (TLD) materials in the energy range 0.015-15 MeV, and for penetration depths up to 40mfp (mean free path).
