A SEMIEMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR DIFFERENTIAL DOSE ALBEDO FOR GAMMA RAYS ON CONCRETE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4763555
A semiempirical formula was developed which yields values for the differential dose albedo of gamma rays on concrete. Gamma rays of incident energies 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, the formula were compared with values derived from Monte Carlo calculations for the backscattering of gamma rays from a semi-infinite slab of concrete. Results show that a two-parameter formula gives satisfactory agreement with the Monte Carlo calculations. The principal assumption involved in the theoretical analysis is that the actual reflection process can be approximated by two terms, one involving a single Compton scattering event, and the other involving isotropic scattering.
