Experimental Study to Determine the Backscattering, Asymmetry, and Tailing Factors for Some Elements in the Atomic Number Range of 4≤Z≤48 at 59.54 keV Using the Gamma Backscattering Method
Zeynep Uzunoğlu
Abstract:This experimental study has been carried out by using gamma backscattering method which is a non-destructive method. Some elements which are in the atomic number range of 4≤Z≤48 have been used as backscatterer samples to investigate the variation of backscattering factor, asymmetry factor, and tailing factor with atomic number. These samples were irradiated by γ-rays of 59.54 keV energy emitted from a 10 μCi 241Am point radioactive source. To count the backscattered photons from samples, a high purity germaniu… Show more
