Abstract
In this paper, γ‑ray with varied energies of 60, 186, 242, 295, 352, 609, 662 keV, emitted from radioactive sources 124Am, 226Ra, 137Cs, are used to determinate the attenuation coefficient for eight samples of different composition prepared from organic compounds (epoxy) and sodium chloride. Measurements are conducted using a γ-ray spectrometer connected to sodium iodide detector (NaI(Tl)). The results are compared with the ICRU-44 report values. It is found that there is good agreement between the obtained results and results from ICRU-44, and the difference is less than 3%. In comparison to ICRU-44, it is confirmed that the materials used in this study, are good alternatives for dosimetry and potentially for tissues to make tissue phantoms for biological tissues under study.
期刊介绍：
Russian Physics Journal covers the broad spectrum of specialized research in applied physics, with emphasis on work with practical applications in solid-state physics, optics, and magnetism. Particularly interesting results are reported in connection with: electroluminescence and crystal phospors; semiconductors; phase transformations in solids; superconductivity; properties of thin films; and magnetomechanical phenomena.
