摘要：
A hybrid Monte Carlo and integral line-beam method is used to determine the effect of a horizontal slab shield above a gamma-ray source on the resulting skyshine doses. A simplified Monte Carlo procedure is used to determine the energy and angular distribution of photons escaping the source shield into the atmosphere. The escaping photons are then treated as a bare, point, skyshine source, and the integral line-beam method is used to estimate the skyshine dose at various distances from the source. From results for arbitrarily collimated and shielded sources, the skyshine dose is found to depend primarily on the mean-free-path thickness of the shield and only very weakly on the shield material.
