Gamma-radiation accumulation factors for composite materials and radiation shields

The accumulation factors determine deviations from the exponential law of the actual dependence of monochromatic plane-parallel gamma-ray beam attenuation during passage through a material layer. For a number of media and shielding materials, accumulation factors are well known and tabulated. The so...

Description
Summary:The accumulation factors determine deviations from the exponential law of the actual dependence of monochromatic plane-parallel gamma-ray beam attenuation during passage through a material layer. For a number of media and shielding materials, accumulation factors are well known and tabulated. The solution of the problem of the determination of the accumulation factor for a composite based on data for its components is considered.
