Analysis of X-ray and gamma ray scattering through computational experiments

A series of computational experiments are performed for gaining insight int o scattering phenomena in industrial radiography. First of all, simulation code results are benchmarked against MCNP Monte Carlo code for verification purpose. Following this, various aspects of scattering phenomena in indust rial radiography are studied through simulations. Impact of X-ray tube volt age, energy of gamma photons, volume of the scattering object, object mater ial, scattering object to detector distance are among the parameters observ ed in these computational experiments. impact of scattering on energy spect rum of the total flux is observed as well. Spatial distribution of scattere d photons are displayed for plates and geometrically complicated objects.
