Abstract

Using a g-ray spectrometer with 3"x3" NaI (Tl) detector the linear and mass attenuation coefficients (m/r) and (m_b/r) from narrow and broad beam experimental arrangements have been measured and compared with the theoretical values for the granites Double Black, DB, from India, Rose Al-Howdy, RH, from Aswan, south Egypt and Bianco Halayeb, BK, from Halayeb, south Egypt. The photon energies lei in the range 0.081-1.332 MeV from the radioisotopes ¹³³Ba, ¹³⁷Cs and ⁶⁰Co. The build-up factor B, the effective atomic number Z_eff, and the total atomic cross-section s_{t_{for the granites as a function of photon energy were determined and discussed. It is found that the experimental results are consistent, within the experimental errors, with the theoretical values. The effective atomic number Z_eff, the build-up factor B, and the total atomic cross-section st were calculated and discussed as a function of photon energy. The B factor is large at low gamma energy and not sensitive for discrimination between the granites. The maximum Z_eff corresponds to minimum B factor at the photon energy 0.356 MeV. The broad beam geometry is more efficient than narrow beam geometry in characterizing the shielding properties of the studied granites.}}
