Gamma Radiation Absorption Of (Al ,Cu, Pb) Alloys

Abstract

In this paper, four samples of some binary and triple alloys (Al, Cu, Pb) have been studied theoretically and experimentally. For the gamma rays shielding parameters, a good agreement was observed between the theoretical and experimental values for each of mass attenuation coefficient (𝝁 𝒎 ), half-value layers (HVL), mean free path (MFP) the radiation protection efficiency (RPE) of the samples . The theoretical measurements were carried out using XCOM program in the energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV, and practical values for 662, 1173, and 1332 keV gamma-ray energies of 137 Cs and 60 Co radiation sourcesusing NaI (Tl) detector.
