MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation, Fall 2016 - 15. Photon Interaction with Matter II — More Details, Shielding Calculations

MIT 22.01 Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation, Fall 2016 Instructor: Michael Short View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/22-01F16 YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUl4u3cNGP61FVzAxBP09w2FMQgknTOqu More details of photon interactions are revealed, and a couple of mistakes from the previous day are corrected. The Klein-Nishina cross section is introduced to explain the angle-energy dependence of Compton scattering. A 'from-scratch' gamma counting spectrum is created from the individual photon interactions.
