Dose rates calculations, in PMMA dosimeters, placed in the vicinity of the Tunisian 60 Co gamma ray irradiator, have been achieved using a pencil like model. The obtained results are in good agreement with recent experimental data. Moreover, in this work we determine also the conversion factor between the dose rate deposited in a PMMA dosimeter and the one deposited in a reel medium. This factor is used to determine the dose deposited in a real irradiated medium such as foodstuff products.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
