Abstract
A study of the background gamma radiation spectrum in Ain Shams University buildings was performed for the energy range 50 keV–3 MeV using a hyperpure Ge-detector. The absolute dose for each gamma line was calculated and an estimation of the total absorbed dose for the detected gamma lines was obtained. Comparison with other results was also performed.
