Description

The gamma ray buildup factors of flyash concretes have been calculated by using Geometrical Progression formula in the energy region of 0.015-15 MeV as well as up to a penetration depth of 40 mean free paths, and have been studied as a function of incident photon energy. From the obtained results it is seen that for a fixed penetration depth the values of buildup factor are very large in the medium energy region and are small in the low and high energy regions. The results have been shown graphically.
