Dubovikov, M.S., 1996: Multiple scattering of hard γ quanta in a medium. Phys. Rev. E, 53, 1156-1165, doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.53.1156.

We consider the problem of multiple scattering of γ quanta with energies of 1-5 MeV in media. An analytical solution of the problem is possible due to the fact that in the mentioned region of the energy, only Compton scattering contributes to the distribution functions of γ quanta and because recoiled electrons may be considered relativistic. We derive asymptotic formulas for the distribution functions of the momenta of γ quanta at distances larger than the γ-quantum mean free path length. We consider both stationary and nonstationary sources of γ quanta.
