Build-up Factor

The "Build-Up Factor" is a dimensionless correction factor in radiation transport theory that accounts for the enhancement of gamma-ray intensity due to scattered photons accumulating within a material, distinguishing it from the primary radiation attenuation predicted by exponential shielding models.
