The reason for peaked EBF values is that the photo-electric and pair-production are dominant interaction processes in low- and high-energy, respectively, which completely remove the photons. Choose this option to get remote access when outside your institution.

The buildup factor can be defined as the ratio of total specified radiation quantity to non-collided photon radiation. The analysis shows that the brick having, lowest EBF should be considered for gamma-ray shielding. The EBF is found large in the higher penetration depths due to possibilities of multiple scattering whereas the positron may escape though the low penetration depth. This is a relatively large thickness, and it is caused by small atomic numbers of hydrogen and oxygen. Radiat.

Abstract Polynomial expressions were derived for approximation of the gamma ray dose, energy, and energy absorption build-up factors tabulated for a point isotropic source in NYO-3075. EBF of the bricks is inversely proportional to equivalent atomic number below 10mfp for entire energy region of interest 0.015 to 15MeV. There are two types of build-up factors which are the quantity of interest: (a) the absorbed or deposited energy in the interacting materials and detector response function is that of absorption in the interacting medium; (b) the exposure build-up factor in which quality of interest is the exposure and detector response function is that of absorption in air [4].

If monoenergetic gamma rays are collimated into a narrow beam and if the detector behind the material only detects the gamma rays that passed through that material without any kind of interaction with this material, then the dependence should be simple exponential attenuation of gamma rays. Thus, the build-up factor can be obtained as a ratio of the total dose to the response for un-collided dose. Recently the radiation shielding by fly-ash concretes [14] and building materials [21] has been reported.
