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:
I(x) = e^(-x/lamda)
ln(1/e) = ln(e ^-x/Lambda)
1 = x/Lambda
1/lamda = x
1/mu = x
