摘要：
In this paper, we attempt to determine the self-attenuation correction factor for 37 different sand samples collected from Antalya region of Turkey with densities changing from 2.205 to 2.679 g Transmission method has been used in order to obtain self-attenuation correction factor in comparison with the air and ultrapure water samples for each case. Self-attenuation correction factor versus energy fit curve is obtained. While the self-attenuation correction factor has large values at low energies, it becomes smaller at high energies and tends to become constant thereafter.
