The mass attenuation coefficients (mu(m)) have been measured for undecylic acid (C11H22O2), lauric acid (C12H24O2), tridecylic acid (C13H26O2), myristic acid (C14H28O2), pentadecylic acid (C15H30O2) and palmitic acid (C16H32O2) using Co-57, Ba-133, Cs-137, Co-60 and Na-22 emitted gamma radiation with energies 122, 356, 511, 662, 1170, 1275 and 1330 keV, respectively. The accurate values of the effective atomic number (Z(eff)), atomic cross-section (sigma(t),), electronic cross-section (sigma(e)) and the effective electron density (N-eff) have great significance in radiation protection and dosimetry. These quantities were obtained by utilizing experimentally measured values of mass attenuation coefficients (mu(m)). A NaI(Tl) scintillation detector with 8.2% (at 662 keV) resolution was used for detecting of attenuated gamma-photons. The variation in Z(eff) and N-eff of fatty acids with energy is discussed. The experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement within 2% deviation.
