Gamma-ray spectrometry for the self-attenuation correction factor of the sand samples from Antalya in Turkey

摘要

In this paper, we attempt to determine the selfattenuation correction factor for 37 different sand samples collected from Antalya region of Turkey with densities changing from 2.205 to 2.679 g cm~(-3):Transmission method has been used in order to obtain self-attenuation correction factor in comparison with the air and ultrapure water samples for each case. Self-attenuation correction factor versus energy fit curve is obtained. While the self-attenuation correction factor has large values at low energies, it becomes smaller at high energies and tends to become constant thereafter.
