XRayMassCoeff:
% Compute the attenuation mass and absorption mass for a material.
The date file is of the form:
material name
and then multiple lines of:
MeV mu/rho mu_en/rho
The default file is XRayMassCoeff.txt. If you create your own file,
you can have as many lines as you want.
If the energies are exactly the same for two values eps is added to
the second value.
Type XRayMassCoeff for a demo using the default file.
