Abstract :
The gamma-ray mass attenuation coefficients of important materials for gamma-ray detection have been measured using the laser-Compton backscattering gamma-rays (LCS gamma-rays) and the high-resolution high-energy photon spectrometer (HHS). The preliminary results performed for materials (Ge and BGO) are presented for gamma-ray energy of 5.1 MeV. The measured data are compared with tabulated theoretical calculations.
