Results are produced representing a NaI(Tl) detector model. We were able to analyse energy distributions of photons that reach the detector system after suffering several successive Compton scatterings in the target. The predicted decrease in intensity of single- and multiple-scattering peaks with increase in thickness of the target medium are in good agreement with experimental observations and findings reported by others. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.falseCompton scattering | Detector response function | Photon energy distribution | ShieldingArticle10.1016/j.radphyschem.2012.10.01810.1016/j.radphyschem.2012.10.0182-s2.0-84875367264WOS:000317030000003121785
