Investigation of Photon Radiation Attenuation Capability of Different Clay Materials

Investigation of Photon Radiation Attenuation Capability of Different Clay Materials

This work aims to experimentally report the radiation attenuation factors for four different clays (red, ball, kaolin and bentonite clays) at four selected energies (emitted from Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60). The highest relative difference in the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) is equal to −3.02%,...
