Download or read book Monte Carlo Calculation of Self-shielding by Encapsulated Gamma Ray Sources written by Kenneth Preiss and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a calculation by the Monte Carlo method of the energy and angular distributions of radiation emitted from a spherical or cylindrical encapsulated gamma ray source. Results are compared with experiment and show good agreement. Computed spectra are shown for two typical cylindrical sources of Co-60 encapsulated in iron.
