Abstract:The linear and mass attenuation coefficients of raw Rhizophora spp. wood, binderless particleboard, and Perspex were measured at gamma ray energies of 59.54, 88.0, and 356 keV. Americium-241, cadmium-109, and barium-133 point sources were used to produce gamma rays in this work. Results were compared with the theoretical values of water calculated using the XCOM program. The mass attenuation coefficients of binderless particleboard and water showed good agreement, with discrepancies of approximately 0.1, 0.6, … Show more
