What is Evaluation of photon, neutron, and charged particle shielding competences of TeO2-B2O3-Bi2O3-TiO2 glasses about?

In this study, photon, neutron and charged particle shielding competences of five different glass systems which have the common chemical composition TeO 2 -B 2 O 3 -Bi 2 O 3 -TiO 2 and contain different mole ratios of TeO 2 in each sample were studied comprehensively. The fundamental photon shielding parameters, mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), half value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Z eff ), and electron density (N eff ) were evaluated in the range of 0.015-20 MeV. The μ/ρ values of all investigated glasses were simulated by using Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation code. Besides, the simulation work was supported utilizing the web version of XCOM code and the outcomes from two methods were compared. A good agreement between two methods was observed. Results reveal that μ/ρ, MFP, HVL, Z eff and N eff parameters of the investigated glasses strongly depend on photon energy and chemical composition. Also, the energy absorption buildup factors (EABF) and exposure buildup factors (EBF) of the proposed glasses were calculated via G-P fitting parameters for photon energies in between 0.15 and 15 MeV. Results show that the greatest values of buildup factors tak
