Abstract

ABS>Calculations are made of the gamma quantum energies at ground level and at elevations up to several hundred meters. A model stratum with radiation sources of uranium, thorium, and radioactive potassium uniformly distributed in the upper layer of mineral rock or radioactive elements with assigned gamma quanta energy distributed as a fine homcgeneous film on the interface between the rock and atmosphere were used in the experiment. The effects of gamma -field action in some types of gamma detectors are evaluated. (R.V.J.)
