İspir ve Kızılcahamam Kuru Fasulyesi için Gama Işını Lineer Soğurma Katsayıları ile Transmisyon Faktörlerinin Ölçülmesi Üzerine Deneysel Bir Çalışma

Öz

Bu çalışmada, Erzurum İspir kuru fasulyesi ve Ankara Kızılcahamam kuru fasulyesi için gama ışını lineer soğurma katsayıları (µ) ve transmisyon faktörleri (TF) ölçülmüştür. Deneyde Am-241 nokta kaynağının 59,54 keV enerjili fotonları, Energy Dispersive X-Ray Floresans Spektrometrisi (EDXRFS) ve bir Si (Li) detektörü kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, Erzurum İspir kuru fasulyesinin ortalama transmisyon faktörünün, Ankara Kızılcahamam kuru fasulyesininkinden daha büyük, ortalama lineer soğurma katsayısının ise daha küçük olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu durum, Ankara Kızılcahamam kuru fasulyesinin, Erzurum İspir kuru fasulyesinden daha fazla gama ışını soğurduğu, yani gama ışınları ile daha fazla etkileşime girdiği anlamına gelmektedir.

An Experimental Study on the Measurement of Gamma-Ray Linear Attenuation Coefficients with Transmission Factors for Ispir and Kızılcahamam Dry Bean

Öz

In the present work, the gamma-ray linear attenuation coefficients (µ) and transmission factors (TF) were measured for Erzurum Ispir dry bean (IDB) and Ankara Kızılcahamam dry bean (KDB). Photons of the Am-241 point source with an energy of 59.54 keV, an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer (EDXRFS), and a Si (Li) detector were used in the experiment. As a result, it was observed that the average transmission factor of Erzurum İspir dried beans was higher than that of Ankara Kızılcahamam dry beans, and the average linear attenuation coefficient was smaller. This means that Ankara Kızılcahamam dry beans absorb more gamma rays than Erzurum İspir dry beans, that is, they interact more with gamma rays.
