In this study, gamma ray buildup factors were investigated for conventional shielding materials such as lead, iron, concrete, and tungsten based on standard formulations in order to understand the variations between different formulations. Clipboard, Search History, and several other advanced features are temporarily unavailable. The buildup factors for low-Z materials were calculated by the moments method without the eect of bremsstrahlung in the ANS data. However the build-up of photons in the medium is mainly due to multiple scattering events by Compton scattering, so that is derived from the Compton scattering interaction process. The effective FNR cross section of the selected brick materials is calculated by partial density of each element and FNR cross section. D K. Trubey, C M. Eisenhauer, A Foderaro, D V.

Therefore it is concluded that low atomic number elemental composition and density contribute a vital role in gamma-ray and neutron shielding properties. where and are the atomic numbers of the elements corresponding to the ratios and , respectively. Sci. , Hubbell, J. It replaces these layers by a single equivalent layer composed of an appropriate material and, hence, it turns the N-layer shield into an (N 1)-layer shield. The process must be considered when evaluating the effect of radiation shielding.Example of the buildup of secondary particles.

The build-up factor is then a multiplicative factor that accounts for the response to the un-collided photons to include the contribution of the scattered photons. The energy absorption buildup factor is computed using the (GP) fitting method for a geometry of adjacent layers within a multilayer tissue matrix where a thick slab of solid bone is located in-between slabs of muscles of the same thickness. Energetic particles, mostly electrons and protons, can annihilate or cause space craft hardware failures. The smallest value of EBFs of COB for low energy (<1.22MeV) gradually increases with increase in photon energy due pair-production. In case of neutron attenuation, the effective fast neutron removal (FNR) cross sections of the different FAB, BOM, and COB are given in Tables 8(a) and 8(b).

If monoenergetic gamma rays are collimated into a narrow beam and if the detector behind the material only detects the gamma rays that passed through that material without any kind of interaction with this material, then the dependence should be simple exponential attenuation of gamma rays. Appreciable variations in exposure build-up factor (EBF) are noted for the fly-ash bricks. The intensity of a gamma-ray beam through a medium follows the Lambert Beer law under three conditions namely, (i) monochromatic rays, (ii) thin absorbing material, and (iii) narrow beam geometry.
