Scattering of gamma radiation by air in the ambient environment using gamma ray spectrometry
Kuwait Journal of Science, 2023 The intensity of gamma radiation reduces as it traverses through matter. The gamma radiation from earth’s surface is attenuated by non-radioactive burden between the ground and the detector.
