Abstract in Portuguese
Radiação gama com energias maiores que 1,25 MeV são usualmente encontradas em ambientes de reatores, aceleradores de partículas e campos de radiação de origem cósmica. Nestas energias, a resposta de um dosímetro varia fortemente com a espessura de material absorvedor, até atingir um valor máximo conhecido como espessura de equibl^rio de partículas carregadas. O objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi a determinação experimental do perfil de dose absorvida por uma amostra de alumínio, para várias energias de feixes de raios gama, de forma a obter uma relação entre a energia média do campo de radiação gama e a espessura de equilíbrio de partículas carregadas para o alumínio. Os dosímetros foram irradiados com radiação gama produzida pela captura de neutrons térmicos em 23 materiais alvos no arranjo experimental montado no canal tangencial do reator do IPEN-CNEN/SP. Na determinação da camada de equilíbrio de partículas carregadas, foi ajustada aos dados experimentais uma função semi-empirica que permitiu obter a espessura de ETPC (Equilíbrio Transitório de Partículas Carregadas) para cada espectro de radiação gama utilizado neste trabalho, com energia média variando no intervalo de 3,26 a 7,85 MeV. Os resultados experimentais do presente trabalho permitiram obter uma relação entre a energia média do campo de radiação gama e a espessura de ETPC, que apresenta uma excelente concordância com o alcance corrigido dos elétrons gerados naquela energia.

Abstract in English
Gamma radiation with energies greater than 1.25 MeV are usually produced in reactor environments, particle accelerators and in cosmic radiation fields. For these energies, the response of a dosimeter heavily vary with the absorber material thickness, up to attain a maximum value named as charged particle equilibrium thickness. The main gol of this paper was the experimental determination of the absorbed dose profile in an aluminum sample for several energies of gamma ray beam, in order to obtain a relationship between the average energy of the gamma radiation field and the charged particle equilibrium thickness. The dosimeters were irradiated with gamma radiation produced by thermal neutron capture in 23 target materials in the experimental arrangement mounted at the tangential beam hole of the BPEN-CNEN/SP reactor. For the determination of the charged particle equilibrium thickness, it was fitted to the experimental data a semi-empirical fimction which allowed to obtain the thickness of CTPE ( Charged Particle Transient Equilibrium ) for each gamma radiation spectrum used in this work, with average energy varying in the interval from 3.26 to 7.85 MeV. The experimental results of the present paper allowed to obtain a relationship between average energy of the radiation field and the CTPE thickness, which presents an excellent agreement with the corrected range for electrons produced in that energy.
