As a follow-up to results presented at the 16th International Symposium on Reactor Dosimetry, a new set of low energy photon filter box designs were evaluated for potential testing at the Gamma Irradiation Facility in Sandia National Laboratories' Technical Area V. The goal of this filter box design study is to produce the highest fidelity gamma ray test environment for electronic parts. Using Monte Carlo coupled photon/electron transport, approximately a dozen different designs were evaluated for the effectiveness in reducing the dose enhancement in a silicon sensor. The completion of this study provides the Radiation Metrology Laboratory staff with a starting point for experimental test plans that could lead to improvement in the gamma ray test environment at the Gamma Irradiation Facility.
