Popis: This research investigated the attenuation properties of gamma ray for some materials, lead (Pb) and tin (Sn), in the energy region from 0.1 - 3 MeV using X-COM code. As a result of increasing photon energy, both MAC and LAC of a selected material decreased. Lead (Pb) offers more effective shielding of gamma rays than tin (Sn) since it has the highest μ and μm values coupled with the lowest HVL and TVL.
