I managed to calculate the fluence of the scattered photons. However, not the transferred photons. In the solution sheet the fluence rate has an l22 in the numerator in the end of the solution sheet. Where does that come from?

Note that ##\dot \varphi_0## is defined to be the fluence rate at the position of the graphite cylinder, which is at a distance ##l_1 = l_2## from the source. Thus, what would be the fluence rate at a distance of ##l_3## from the source, expressed in terms of ##\dot \varphi_0##, ##l_2##, and ##l_3##, assuming no lead shield?
