Abstract

The buildup factor of cylindrical samples (shields) for High Density Poly Ethylene, High Density Poly Ethylene with lead (HDPE+ Pb) was studied, where the buildup factor calculated using thickness between (0-3) m.f.p. Cs137 sources (Eγ=0.662 MeV) have been used together with scintillation detector NaI(Tℓ) (2.5 x 2.5).These calculations show that the results of (HDPE +Pb) give buildup factor lower than that of (HDPE) as expected due to the addition of lead.
