Abstract

Abstract The average mass attenuation coefficient of air for the KRISS 137Cs gamma-ray irradiation beam was measured using a 30 cm-long vacuum-sealable cylindrical column. Six different models of ionization chambers were employed for the measurement. Under ambient room conditions, the average mass attenuation coefficient was found to be (0.0778 ± 0.0012) cm2 g−1 across the six chambers. This coefficient will be used to adjust the variation in air kerma with air density for the 137Cs gamma-ray irradiation beam.
