Abstract Absolute values are obtained in the present investigation for the energy albedo of the γ-radiation of Co60 (1.17, 1.33 Mev) and Au198 (0.410 Mev) from various substances, at angles of 0 °, 45 °, and 60 ° from the original beam. The dependence of the magnitude of the albedo on the effective atomic number and thickness of the scattering material was investigated; in addition, the angular distribution of the intensity of the scattered radiation and its spectral composition were determined. The energy flux of the primary radiation was determined by use of an ionization chamber and “Roentgen KH-5” photographic film. The intensity of the scattered radiation was measured with a gas-filled counter with a practically constant sensitivity to γ-quanta of different energies. The spectral composition of the scattered radiation was determined by the method of absorption in lead.
