Cs137 gamma-ray absorption in eclogites

Summary The coefficient of the gamma-ray absorption _Cs¹³⁷ investigated in eclogites of the Bohemian Massif varies with fresh samples from0.2477 cm^–1to 0.2804 cm^–1. Symplectite is the main factor decreasing the value of down to0.242 cm^–1. On the contrary, the coefficient increases with the increasing content of clinopyroxene and especially of garnet. The linear dependence of the coefficient on the density may be expressed by the equation =0.0682+0.028.
