Absorption jump factors and jump ratios parameters are required in many areas of industries. Lanthanum is utilized in picture industry and for studio lighting and projection. Due to this reason it is important to calculate the absorption jump factor (J) and jump ratios(r) of lanthanum compounds to explore the potential applications of these compounds. The jump factors and jump series have been calculated using mass attenuation coefficient. The theoretical values of mass attenuation coefficient were obtained by using WinXCom, based on the mixture rule. The jump ratios (r1,2,3) and jump factors (J1,2,3), of Lanthanum compounds have been calculated for the first time. These different compounds have different jump ratios and jump factors for Lanthanum compounds near edges. It is expected that mass attenuation coefficient for Lanthanum compounds will vary near edge. It is found value of jump ratios for K, L1, L2, L3 vary from 1.653 to 5.853, vary from 1.069 to 1.153, vary from 1.2 to 1.351 and vary from 1.316 to 2.814 respectively. It is also seen that value of jump factor for K, L1, L2, L3 vary from 0.395 to 0.829, vary from 0.065 to 0.133, vary from 0.116 to 0.26 and vary from 0.240 to 0.647 respectively. No experimental or theoretical values of these parameters are available in literature for comparison.
