This is an interesting piece indeed. I was an electronics technician in the USAF many years ago, but I have never heard of that before. -- TracyRenee 11:48, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Though I'm not familiar with the term attenuation length either, I saw it written in some paper about scintillators used for PET. So the term seems to be in use. -- 84.56.12.216 15:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
I've got the impression that the attenuation length is closely releated to the linear attenuation coefficient, which has an own article. Probably the two articles should be cross-referenced or better yet merged. Is there some expert who can clarify on this, and make the relation of the attenuation length and the linear attenuation coefficient explicit? -- 84.56.12.216 15:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
attenuation length is definitely used, e.g. in XPS (Photoelectron spectroscopy), Reference: E. Paparazzo, G.M. Ingo: Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena, 95, (1998), 301-304., talking about the possible probing depth of XPS rays (in the order of 5-35 Angstroems, depending on material properties. --
