Description

In this study, variation of photon attenuation coefficient with chemical composition, grain diameter and water content has been investigated, using gamma-ray transmission method. For this aim, soil samples were collected from different region of Turkey and the photon attenuation coefficients of soils were determined by performing transmission experiments using a narrow beam geometry established in this study.
