Absorption cross section : ウィキペディア英語版
Absorption cross section

Absorption cross section is a measure for the probability of an absorption process. More generally, the term cross section is used in physics to quantify the probability of a certain particle-particle interaction, e.g., scattering, electromagnetic absorption, etc. (Note that light in this context is described as consisting of particles, i.e., photons.)
In the context of ozone shielding of ultraviolet light, absorption cross section is the ability of a molecule to absorb a photon of a particular wavelength and polarization. Analogously, in the context of nuclear engineering it refers to the probability of a particle (usually a neutron) being absorbed by a nucleus. Although the units are given as an area, it does not refer to an actual size area, at least partially because the density or state of the target molecule will affect the probability of absorption. Quantitatively, the number ''dN'' of photons absorbed, between the points ''x'' and ''x'' + ''dx'' along the path of a beam is the product of the number ''N'' of photons penetrating to depth ''x'' times the number n of absorbing molecules per unit volume times the absorption cross section σ:
:\frac= -N n \sigma.
The absorption cross-section is closely related to molar absorptivity and mass absorption coefficient. For a given particle and its energy, the absorption cross-section of the target material can be calculated from mass absorption coefficient using:
:\sigma= (\mu/\rho) m_a/N_A
where:
* \mu/\rho is the mass absorption coefficient
* m_a is the atomic molar mass in g/mol
* N_A is Avogadro's number and is the number of molecules per mole
This is also commonly expressed as:
:\sigma= \alpha/N
where:
* \alpha is the absorption coefficient
* N is the atomic number density
