Calculation of Gamma Ray Dose From Rectangular Sources Using Harmonic Analysis
Abstract
Techniques are developed for evaluating the detector response due to radiation from rectangularly shaped surfaces. The angular distribution of the radiation is represented as a series of elementary functions dependent on azimuth and obliquity. Calculations are then performed for specific rectangle shapes and detector positions using these functions. Sample results are given for a plane monodirectional source of 1.25 Mev gamma rays incident on a concrete scattering medium. These results are derived from more extensive tabulations contained in the report.
