Simulation of Buildup Factor for Bremsstrahlung Produced by Complete Absorption of Beta Rays
The Monte Carlo simulation method has been applied to generate the first data for bremsstrahlung buildup factor (BBUF) produced by the complete absorption of beta particles in different materials. The bremsstrahlung buildup factor was computed by the present method for different thicknesses of water, concrete, aluminum, tin and lead at the maximum bremsstrahlung energy of 2.2 MeV for 90Sr/90Y beta source.
