Linear attenuation coefficient of irregular targets having unknown thickness (La, Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho and Er) and regular targets of known thickness (Mo, Ag, Sn, W and Pb) at 59.54 keV have been measured by using a new technique named Advanced Two Media (ATM) method. In this modified Advanced Two Media method pure metallic foils have been used as a mediums 1 and 2. The obtained results from Advanced Two Media method and transmission geometry are in good agreement with theoretical values of WinXCOM.
► Advanced Two Media (ATM) method is given in this communication. ► Linear attenuation coefficient for pure metallic compounds has been measured with regular and irregular shaped targets. ► Concept of thickness for the linear attenuation coefficient measurement has been completely removed. ► Homogeneity of the medium improved by using solid pure metallic foil. ► Error in the measurement has been improved approximately up to 0.17%.
