TABULATION OF DOSE TRANSMISSION FACTORS FOR TWO-LAYER SLABS,

Abstract

The method of invariant imbedding has been applied to the penetration problem of gamma rays through two-layer slabs, and turned out to be accurate and less time-consuming than the Monte Carlo method. A series of calculations were made for two-layer slabs of water, iron and lead for plane oblique sources. An approximate formula for synthesizing the build-up factor of a composite slab from those of elementary layers is derived from numerical solutions by modifying the formula originally proposed by Kalos.
