Abstract： The gamma-ray linear and the mass attenuation coefficients of Pb, Al, Cu, and plexiglass materials were calculated from both experimental and theoretical (simulation) methods. For the experimental results, a spectrometer, which was consisted of a NaI(Tl) inorganic scintillation detector, was used. The theoretical attenuation values were calculated by means of the FLUKA Monte Carlo (MC) and XCOM programs. Obtained attenuation coefficients from the experiment and the theoretical methods were compared with each other and literature values.
