Gamma ray attenuation for determining soil density: laboratory experiments for Environmental Physics and Engineering courses
Abstract In this paper, we present in details a method for determining the soil density of disturbed samples. The mass attenuation coefficient was also evaluated by using the relation between the number of photon counts and the path length (soil density \texttimes thickness). A typical student labor...
