title={XCOM: Photon cross sections on a personal computer},
author={M. J. Berger and John H. Hubbell},
year={1987}
}A computer program and data base are presented which can be used to calculate, with a personal computer, photon cross sections for scattering, photoelectric absorption and pair production, as well as total attenuation coefficients, in any element, compound or mixture, at energies from 1 keV to 100 GeV.
