Compton scattering of 662 keV gamma rays by aluminium and copper materials using NaI(Tl) detector

A rotating NaI(TI) scintillator detector and a collimated Cs 137 source producing gamma rays with an energy of 662 keV scattered incoherently by aluminum (Al) and copper (Cu) scatterers through the angles from 0 to 120° are used to study Compton scattering. The Compton scattering effect is investigated and found that the energy of scattered gamma ray decreases as the scattering angles increases...

Compton profile measurements of lithium fluoride with 662 keV radiation

The isotropic Compton profile of lithium fluoride has been deduced from Compton scattering measurements on poly crystalline sample at gamma ray source energy of 662 keV. Here we report the experimental and theoretical Compton profile of lithium fluoride. We calculated directional Compton profile and their anisotropic effect using self-consistent Hatree-Fock wave functions employed on the linear...

Effect of Co-60 Single Escape Peak on Detection of Cs-137 in Analysis of Radionuclide from Research Reactor

The effect of the single escape peak of 1173 keV gamma-rays from Co-60 on the detection of Cs-137 activity is analyzed. The single escape peak of 1173 keV gamma-rays from Co-60 is located at the 662 keV, which is very close to the energy of gamma-rays from Cs-137. This single escape peak may be mistaken for the gamma-ray peak from Cs-137 activity in the case of large area of 1173 keV peak. The ...

Attenuation of Vhe Gamma Rays by the Milky Way Interstellar Radiation Field

The attenuation of very high energy γ-rays by pair production on the Galactic interstellar radiation field has long been thought of as negligible. However, a new calculation of the interstellar radiation field consistent with multi-wavelength observations by DIRBE and FIRAS indicates that the Galactic interstellar radiation field is intense. We have made a calculation of the attenuation of very...
