Abstract Measurements have been made of the attenuation of doses of scattered γ-photons from Au198, Co60, and Na24 sources as a function of the distance between the source and the detector for various collimation angles, thereby eliminating the possibility of primary γ-radiation from entering the detector. The measurements were carried out at distances ranging from 3 to 4 and 8 to 12 mean-free-paths for the γ-photons. The collimation angles were varied from 30 to 80. The experimental data which were obtained are compared with the results of calculations based on an assumption which allows the problem to be reduced to the calculation of a triple integral rather than the direct solution of the kinetic equation. Satisfactory agreement is found between the experimental and theoretical results.
