Layer-splitting technique for testing the recursive scheme for multilayer shields gamma ray buildup factors

The produced results of the buildup factor values through the implementation of the suggested formalism showed good consistency with the Monte Carlo simulation results of Lin and Jiang work. In the implementation of the introduced technique, the deviation caused by the splitting of the layers in the multilayer shields understudy did not reach extreme limits and remains well below 16%. The proposed formalism showed good stability with the introduced changes, at least within the frame of this study. The implementation of the layer splitting technique was easy and it can be conducted on many other formalisms of the recursive approach.
