A mathematical model of the gamma-albedo method is proposed to control the effective atomic number Z of complex materials. An analytical expression for calculating the sensitivity to Z has been obtained. It has been shown that the method sensitivity is a complex function of the primary gamma radiation the energy and the Z value of the material. The inversion character of the dependence of the method sensitivity on the effective atomic number has been established. The maximum sensitivity naturally shifts to the region of increased Z values with increasing the primary gamma radiation energy. The satisfactory convergence of the calculated and experimental values of the sensitivity indicates suitability of the mathematical model for optimizing the parameters of the method for controlling the material Z.
