Abstract
Of the processes that reduce the intensity of X-rays passing through matter, photoelectric absorption, scattering and extinction are important for the X-ray wavelengths used in crystallography. This chapter discusses each in turn. Different kinds of absorption corrections are described and parameters for use in calculating absorption corrections are tabulated. This chapter is also available as HTML from the International Tables Online site hosted by the IUCr.
