In many industrial applications, the characteristics of wood are of considerable importance to investigate its composition for several needs in the interest of mankind. This work is based on the use of gamma photons for examining the variety of common woods with density range 0.1722–0.7028 g/cm³. The FLUKA Monte Carlo code has been explored for this purpose in scattering geometry with primary gamma photon energies of 59.5 and 661.6 keV. The validation of the FLUKA code is done with laboratory findings on wood density measurements and a strong correlation (R² ~ 0.9744) has been found between simulations and experimental results. The radiation interaction parameters namely linear attenuation coefficients and half-value layers (HVL) in transmission geometry, for seven types of woods, have also been reported here in addition to Compton scattering based findings. With increase of wood density for the chosen samples, the HVL values decrease from 200 mm to 51 mm and 479 mm–122 mm at incident photon energy 59.5 keV and 661.6 keV respectively. The results obtained here, where the calibration curves are constructed completely by simulations, are fully promising for estimating the parameters important for wood processors and product users. Moreover, the best-fitted mathematical functions relating Compton scattering intensity with HVL (transmission parameter) of selected woods are found to be first order exponential decay in nature. It has been concluded that FLUKA simulation is a convenient and inexpensive method particularly whenever it is hard to set-up the desired laboratory arrangements.

在许多工业应用中，木材的特性对于研究满足人类利益的几种需求的组成具有相当重要的意义。这项工作是基于使用伽马光子检查密度范围为0.1722–0.7028 g / cm ³的各种普通木材而进行的。为此目的，已经探索了FLUKA蒙特卡罗代码，用于散射几何体，其初级伽马光子能量为59.5和661.6 keV。FLUKA规范的验证是通过对木材密度测量的实验室发现和强相关性完成的（R ²（〜0.9744）已发现介于模拟和实验结果之间。除了基于康普顿散射的发现外，还报告了七种木材的辐射相互作用参数，即线性衰减系数和透射几何中的半值层（HVL）。随着所选样品木材密度的增加，入射光子能量分别为59.5 keV和661.6 keV时，HVL值分别从200 mm降至51 mm和479 mm–122 mm。此处获得的结果（通过模拟完全构建了校准曲线）完全有希望用于估计对木材加工者和产品用户重要的参数。此外，发现康普顿散射强度与选定木材的HVL（透射参数）相关的最合适的数学函数是自然界中的一阶指数衰减。已经得出结论，FLUKA模拟是一种方便且廉价的方法，尤其是在难以建立所需的实验室布置时。
