Here's a puzzle;  impute the gamma ray energy if you know the transmission factor thru (thick) concrete.  T = B exp(-mu x t) is the simple equation, but B is a function of energy, so you cant just solve for mu and go the mu vs. E curve.  Anybody confronted this one?  (Distance-- r squared --effects can be ignored.)
