Abstract

In the study, transmission factors (T) and linear attenuation coefficients (μ) of some construction materials (briquette, sand, marble, paint, adobe, soil, and lime) mixed with ulexite and borax are measured with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for 59.5 keV energy by using a Si(Li) detector. Ulexite and borax were added to the samples at a rate of 25, 50, and 75 percent. Results are presented and discussed in this paper. Measurements made on these construction materials with technological importance will create new use areas

Keywords
