Abstract
We have computed radiological parameters of some C- H- N- O based amine group bio material in the energy range 122-1330Â keV with the gamma ray count by narrow beam geometry. The NaI(Tl) detector with 8Â K multichannel analyser was used having resolution 6.8% at 663Â keV. The energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) was determined by using Geometric Progression (G-P) fitting method up to penetration depth of 40Â mfp at energy 0.015-15Â MeV. The NIST XCOM data were compared with the experimental value and we observed (3-5%) difference. The comparative study of effective atomic number and effective electron density in the energy range 122-1330Â keV using Gaussian fit for accuracy were performed. The amino acid has the highest EABF value at 0.1Â MeV and the variation in EABF with penetration depth up to 1-40 mean free path (mfp). The calculated radiological data of biological material are applicable in medical physics and dosimetry.
