Assessment of gamma-rays and fast neutron beam attenuation features of Er2O3-doped B2O3–ZnO–Bi2O3 glasses using XCOM and simulation codes (MCNP5 and Geant4)
The authors aim to study the gamma-rays and neutron beam shielding capabilities of zinc bismuth borate glasses doped with erbium ions. Mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) ( μ / ρ ) values were computed employing XCOM and two different simulation codes, MCNP5 and Geant4, within 0.015–15 MeV photon ene...

) values were computed employing XCOM and two different simulation codes, MCNP5 and Geant4, within 0.015–15 MeV photon energy, which showed good agreement within the derived values. The effective atomic number (

To account on the scattering effects of photons from the samples, exposure buildup factor (EBF) were determined, applying geometric progression (G-P) method, within 0.015–15 MeV photon energy and penetration depth of 1–40 mfp (intervals: 1, 5, 10, 15, and 40 mfp).
