This paper uses the Win XCOM computer code as a reference base. We found analytical photoelectric attenuation coefficients for researchers using the Monte Carlo simulation program for Z [1; 100] and E[10keV; 3MeV]. We define a photoelectric effect operator and coefficient operators and a series for photoelectric absorption. We have calculated two polynomial coefficient operators for use with XCOM for photoelectric absorption. We determined 14 energies and atomic number limits for elements, and we find that they are accurate limits of photoelectric absorption for fitting with XCOM. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.falseoperator | photoelectric absorption | photoelectric attenuation coefficient | XCOMArticle10.1080/10420150.2012.7295862-s2.0-84870956273
