Albedo factors of some boron compounds at 59.54 keV
Özet
In this study, the albedo factors (number, energy, and dose) of some boron compounds were investigated at a scattering angle of 180 degrees. Eight boron compounds were tested in the mean atomic number range of 4.571 <= (Z) over bar <= 19.00. The samples were irradiated by gamma rays emitted at 59.54 keV from an Am-241-point source with an activity of 0.43 MBq. The scattered gamma rays were counted by an ultra-low energy germanium detector with a resolution of 140 eV at 5.9 keV. The results showed that the albedo factors decreased as the mean atomic number increased. The correlations between the albedo factors and mean atomic numbers were also high.
