A tentative statistical analysis and comparative plots of the data from sets of PWAS transducers revealed that the trends observed on an individual PWAS are also observed on the entire set of PWAS transducers. The article concludes with a summary, conclusions, and suggestions for further work.
Concrete of various type have been used extensively for the adequate shielding of the radiological equipment using X and gamma rays. In its basic form, concrete is composed of pieces of inert aggregate held together by hardened cement paste. Dierent concrete types with special cements have been prepared. The linear attenuation coecients of conventional concrete and concrete with supplementary mineral additives (barite and witherite) at dierent gamma energies (Co-60: 1.25 MeV, Cs-137: 0.662 MeV, Ir-192: 0.37 MeV) in narrow beam conditions have been measured. This paper includes some experimental data regarding the inuence of barite and witherite additives on photon attenuation coecients of concrete.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
