Abstract
The mass attenuation coefficients of the fabricated Rhizophora spp. particleboards were measured by using the Compton scattering technique and Ludlum configurations. The mass attenuation coefficents of the particleboards were measured at scattered gamma energies of 137Cs between 337.72 and 564.09 keV and compared to the its theoretical values and the values of water by using XCOM calculation. The results showed that the measured mass attenuation coefficients of the fabricated Rhizophora spp. particleboards were in good agreement to its theoretical values and water (XCOM) within 3.8 and 5.9% discrepancies. The results showed the near attenuation properties of the fabricated Rhizophora spp. particleboards to water at scattered gamma energies and the suitability of the Ludlum configuration for the measurement of mass attenuation coefficients of materials.
