Abstract

It is known that for the study of low-energy gamma rays in the atmosphere, coherent scattering, incoherent scattering, photoelectric effect, and total coherent and incoherent cross-sections are needed. In this study, a number of interpolation functions are derived to relate energy to cross-section continuously.
