Mass Attenuation Coefficients for Plastic Pilot-B Scintillator

Abstract

Mass attenuation coefficients of the commercial plastic Pilot-B scintillator have been determined as a function of energy. Sources emitting gamma rays with energies of 0.36, 0.66, 0.80, and 1.33 MeV were used. The results indicate strong absorption in the low energy region and a smooth nonlinear decrease in the mass attenuation coefficients with increasing gamma ray energy. The experimental procedure and apparatus are described.
