چکیده
Angular distributions of the 14–17 MeV g rays from the Li~p ,g) reaction at Ep5450, 402, and 80 keV were measured at 0°<u lab<135°, using a BGO detector and a 28-mg/cm 2 LiF target. The angular distributions at Ep5450 and 402 keV agree with the previous results by Mainsbridge; at Ep580 keV the ground-state transition is anisotropic on the order of 20%, confirming recent results by Chasteler et al.

Background: The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has attributed the same relative risk for X and gamma radiations of all energies. Several studies have proven that the biological effect of low energy photon is more than that of higher ones. The assessment of risks is important due to the wide use of low energy X-rays for mammography screening and other diagnostic appli...
