Abstract
The simultaneous effect of longitudinal thickness and beam divergence has been studied on the buildup factor of six wood samples of popular, dek, toot, safeda, black talhi and beri for 1332 keV gamma rays. It has been observed that the buildup factor is maximum for beri and minimum for dek for a fixed longitudinal thickness and collimator size. The buildup factor is nearly unity for small collimator size and absorber thickness, but it increases with increase in longitudinal thickness and collimator size.
