Absorption Length
Alternatively Attenuation Length is defined as the distance into a material where the x-ray beam intensity has decreased to 1 / e, or about 63% of the incident beam. The X-ray beam intensity at depth x into a material is calculated by Beer-Lambert law:
<math> \operatorname{erfc}(x) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}} \int_x^{\infty} e^{-t^2}\,dt = \frac{e^{-x^2}}{x\sqrt{\pi}}\sum_{n=0}^\infty (-1)^n \frac{(2n)!}{n!(2x)^{2n}} </math>
I(x) = e^(-x/lambda)
ln(1/e) = ln(e ^-x/lambda)
1 = x/Lambda
1/lamda = x
1/mu = x
