Monte Carlo simulation is also used to verify the forward scatter part of the model. The model accurately accounts for thickness as well as forward scatter, gamma-ray background, and the measurement interference of sample density and composition. The model parameters are obtained and the model is benchmarked with industrial experimental data from a 90Sr(90Y) gauge.}, journal={NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS & METHODS IN PHYSICS RESEARCH SECTION B-BEAM INTERACTIONS WITH MATERIALS AND ATOMS}, author={Gardner, RP and Metwally, WA and Shehata, A}, year={2004}, month={Jan}, pages={357–363} }
