摘要
It is necessary to estimate the scattering radiation contribution accurately and quickly in the radiation shielding calculation and design, and the photon scattering coefficient is a key parameter in this process. In real engineering applications, the radiation source is typically a multi-MeV photon beam, however, it can be challenging to determine precise parameters from the available literature. In this work, we used the Geant4 Monte Carlo code to simulate the scattering coefficients of monoenergetic photons with incident energies between 0.01 and 20 MeV at all angles of reflection with different scattering materials and thickness, and built a database, the Geant4 simulated results are in good agreement with the literature data. It then presents an algebraic approach and develops a MATLAB program to calculate multi-MeV photon scattering coefficient based on monoenergetic photon scattering coefficient simply by importing the photon spectrum. The results calculated using this approach basically coincide with Geant4 simulation, and agree well with the experimental results within the error range allowed. We can more accurately estimate the scattering radiation dose at the point of interest with the aid of a theoretical formula through this approach, thus significantly improve the computational efficiency in engineering radiation shielding calculation and design.
