A MONTE CARLO CALCULATION OF GAMMA RAY PENETRATIONS THROUGH IRON SLABS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4069188

A Monte Carlo sampling is used to calculate the transmitted number and energy current, number and energy flux, and dose of gamma rays penetrating an iron slab. The results are presented for 6 thickesses of iron, 5 source energies, and 5 incident an8les. Scattered dose and energy flux transmission factors are determined for 120 equal solid angles. The energy flux transmission factors are divided into four energy groups. A weighted average energy is determined for each solid angle. The total output represents some 25 hr of computing time on the IBM-704. Most of the data have been preserved on IBM cards. (auth)
