EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON SHIELDING ATTENUATION OF GAMMA-RADIATION OF EXTENDED SOURCES,

Abstract

This paper presents results of experiments on the investigation of shielding attenuation of gamma radiation from solid, hollow, and gas filled cylindrical sources. The results are plotted in graphs. A number of measurements were made to determine the dependence of the multiple attenuation factor of gamma rays on the location of the shield between the source and the detector.
