Air Scattering of Co60 Gamma Rays: Theory Versus Experiment (open access)

Air Scattering of Co60 Gamma Rays: Theory Versus Experiment

For Co60 source at 15 meters, the air-scattered gamma dose rate predicted by theory is excerpted from ORNL-1575, pp. 167-203. This is compared with experimental measurements for the same source and comparable geometry reported by Convair in CVAC-170T. After applying an appropriate correction for ground scattering as estimated in Mart-55-16T (Convair), the two results are found to be in substantial agreement.
