Backscattering factor measurements of gamma rays of the different thickness of pure concrete

Backscattering peak is one of the main features of the pulse height spectrum from a gamma ray detector. This arises mainly from materials outside like source baking, photomultiplier tube housing, shielding etc. The effect of source backing on the relative importance of the backscattered peak for gam...
