A survey of principal research on the backscattering of gamma rays is described. This is a macroscopic phenomena composing many photons scattered backward from a surface of material. After a historical survey as an introduction, principal theme of research is described; nomenclature of albedo, Monte Carlo calculation, measurement of albedos, semi-empirical formula of the differential albedo, exposure dose rate distribution outside a scatterer, distribution of scattered gamma rays on the surface. 106 references.
