ABSTRACTThe ratio of gamma heating per gram of tungsten to gamma heating per gram of water was calculated for the case of a thin tungsten detector in a water shield. One-dimensional transport theory calculations were used to obtain response polynomials which predict this ratio as a function of source energy, shield thickness, and detector thickness. Electron transport effects were also examined. Useful results a r e presented in the form of graphs.ii
