ABSTRACT
Photons, when emitted in sea water, are subject to multiple scattering mechanisms, resulting in a shift in their initial energy. Consequently, a problem arises when measured spectra of radioactivity in sea water are processed, because the measured values do not reflect the initial photon energy but a distribution of energies. In this work a detailed analytical formulation of this distribution is performed and numerical results are compared to results from Monte-Carlo calculation.
