PLANE ISOTROPIC GAMMA RAY BUILDUP FACTORS IN LEAD AND WATER WITH APPLICATIONS TO SHIELDING CALCULATIONS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4325679
Plane isotropic dose (B/sub r/) and energy absorption (B/sub a/) buildup factors were calculated for gamma rays in lead and water for various initial energies from 0.5 to 10 Mev and for penetrations up to 15 mean free paths. These buildup factors, computed by numerical integration of point isotropic buildup factors, are compared with plane isotropic buildup factors computed using two approximate methods. Specific examples of the use of plane isotropic buildup factors in simple shielding geometries are given. (auth)
