The line-beam response function, needed for skyshine analyses based on the integral line-beam method, was evaluated with the MCNP Monte Carlo code for photon energies from 20 to 100 MeV and for source-to-detector distances out to 1,000 m. These results are compared with point-kernel results, and the effects of bremsstrahlung and positron transport in the air are found to be important in this energy range. The three-parameter empirical formula used in the integral line-beam skyshine method was fit to the MCNP results, and values of these parameters are reported for various source energies and angles.
