Mass attenuation coefficient of saccharides for X-rays in the energy range from 8 keV to 32 keV

Mass attenuation coefficients have been measured for mono and disaccharides at photon energies 8.136, 13.596, 17.781, 22.581 and 32.890 keV. The measured values are compared with the computed values obtained using personal computer software package WinXCOM. The agreement between the two is within −5.3% to 3%.
