Popis: The study of effective atomic number of biomedical sample has been carried out by using a non-destructive multiple back-scattering technique. Also radiation characterization method is used to compare the tissue equivalent material as human tissue. Response function of 3″ × 3″ NaI(Tl) scintillation detector is implemented on recorded pulse-height distribution to boost the counts under the photo-peak and help to reduce the uncertainty in the experimental result. Monte Carlo calculation for multiple back-scattered events supports the reported experimental work.
