A Comprehensive Study on Energy Absorption and Exposure Buildup Factors for some Soils and Ceramic Materials

چکیده
Abstract: Study of gamma ray energy absorption (EABF) and exposure buildup factors (EBF) for some essential soils, ceramic materials in the energy region 0.015-15 MeV up to a penetration depth of 40 mfp (mean free path). To calculate both EABF and EBF, five parameter geometric progressions (G-P) fitting approximation has been used. Variation of EABF and EBF with incident photon energy, penetration depth and effective atomic number (Zeff) has been studied and presented in the form of graphs. This change results from the dominance of different interaction process in different energy regions. Significant variations were also observed between EABF and EBF which may due to different chemical composition of given materials.

The effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (Rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (E?) range of 40 keV to 3 MeV. Incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to E? ~ 200 keV and the effect i...

The exposure buildup factors are important for determining the shield thickness of gamma and X-ray. Without taking this factor into account, the estimated thickness of the shield is less than what is expected which leads to an excessive received radiation exposure of staffs or patients. Given that the exposure buildup factor for the monoenergetic homogenous point sources have been calculated by...
