Abstract

Mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic numbers of Ag/Cu/Zn alloy (14.80%/57.61%/27.59% weight fraction) were determined at energy range 220 to 662 keV using gamma rays transmission method. The photon energy has been changed by Compton scattering technique. The results show that, the experimental values of mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic numbers are in good agreement with the theoretical values with less than 1% of error. The mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic numbers were decreased with increasing of gamma rays energies due to the higher photon interaction probability of Ag/Cu/Zn alloy at lower energy. ฉ 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
