The https:// ensures that you are connecting to the If secondary particles are producers and the primary radiation changes its energy or direction, the effective attenuation will be much less. 3- Build-up factors for gamma energies between 100 keV and 500 keV were calculated using Trubey's table. <]>> Introduction. The linear attenuation coefficient increases as the atomic number of the absorber increases. The following equation can then describe the attenuation of gamma radiation. The experimental and theoretical data agree with each other within 10%; good agreement was also obtained msking use of the build-up factors reported by H. Goldstein and S.

Polynomial expressions were derived for approximation of the gamma ray dose, energy, and energy absorption build-up factors tabulated for a point isotropic source in NYO-3075. For intermediate energies, the Compton scattering dominates, and different absorbers have approximately equal mass attenuation coefficients. An approximate method for calculation of the attenuation of fast neutrons by use of an effective removal cross section has been developed to allow for scattering or build-up. shield need to be about 13.8 feet of water, about 6.6 feet of concrete, or about 1.3 feet of lead.
