You're almost remembering correctly. Usually you have a differential operator L (often the Laplacian) and a potential term V(x) (where x may be a vector) giving the equation L{y} = V(x) or in quantum mechanics L{y} = V(x)y (now L is i

Density alone is a weak parameter. For photons with energy below 200 keV — that is, most of them — the attenuation is proportional to Z^2, so barium with atomic number 56 is four times as attenuating as nickel with atomic number 28, and lea
