Abstract :In the present work, the gamma-ray linear attenuation coefficients insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(µ); and transmission factors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TF); were measured for Erzurum Ispir dry bean insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IDB); and Ankara Kızılcahamam dry bean insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(KDB);. Photons of the Am-241 point source with an energy of 59.54 keV, an Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EDXRFS);, and a Si insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Li); detector were used in the experiment. As a result, it was observed that the average transmission factor of Erzurum İspir dried beans was higher than that of Ankara Kızılcahamam dry beans, and the average linear attenuation coefficient was smaller. This means that Ankara Kızılcahamam dry beans absorb more gamma rays than Erzurum İspir dry beans, that is, they interact more with gamma rays.
