The present measurements are carried out to investigate the multiple scattering of 662 keV gamma photons emerging from targets of binary alloys (brass and soldering material). The scattered photons are detected by 51 mm × 51 mm NaI(Tl) scintillation detector whose response unscrambling converting the observed pulse–height distribution to a true photon energy spectrum, is obtained with the help of 10 × 10 inverse response matrix. The numbers of multiply scattered events, having same energy as in the singly scattered distribution, first increases with target thickness and then saturate. The application of response function of scintillation detector does not result in any change of measured saturation thickness. Monte Carlo calculation supports the present experimental results.
