“…This program can theoretically calculate the mass attenuation coefficients of an element, compound, or mixture. The WinXCom program was very useful and was developed for radiological physics and dosimetry [17]. The energy values to be calculated first while using the program (0.053, 0.186, 0.242, 0.295, 0.352, 0.609, 0.665, 0.768, 0.786, 0.806, 0.934, 1.120, 1.155, 1.238, 1.281, 1.378, 1.401, 1.408, 1.509, 1.661, 1.730), 1.764, 1.847, 2.119, 2.204, and 2.448 MeV) were entered into the program manually.…”

In this study, elemental analyses of water samples taken from Aktaş, Çıldır Lake, and Kura River basins in Ardahan province were carried out using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. The mass attenuation coefficients, total photon interaction cross sections, effective atomic numbers, and electron densities were determined with the help of WinXCom for the main gamma-ray energies released when Ra-226, which is an important source of natural radiation, decays into Rn-222, Bi-214, and Po-214.

“…The ability of shielding materials in decreasing the intensity of radiation is expressed by linear and mass attenuation coefficient. Mass attenuation coefficient depends on the incident X-ray energy, the effective atomic number of material and the density of shielding material [20][21][22][23]. The accurate attenuation coefficient values of materials are very important parameter in nuclear and radiation physics, radiation dosimetry, crystallography, radiography, spectrometry, biological, medical, agricultural, environmental and industrial.…”

Now-a-days, the importance of x-rays is increasing in fields like medical diagnosis, cancer treatment, nuclear fission energy, x-ray scanning machines for airport and railway station entry and in treatment of food for preservation. But the exposure to x-rays will be harmful for the users of such facilities. Doctors, operators and researchers are required to be protected from the high energy ionizing radiations like x-rays and gamma rays.So to protect them, proper shielding is necessary. Numbers of shielding materials are used at workplaces of high radiation regions at nuclear installations. Most commonly used, shielding material is lead glasses due to its high atomic number (Z=82). This insures high absorption by the shielding material. Recently light polymer sheets of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) are replacing heavy glass sheets. To prepare lead polymer sheets lead compounds are mixed with polymer. In the present work, we selected to mix lead iodide in polymer composite to analyze its X-ray shielding capability. Polymer composites sheets of lead iodide with PVA were prepared by solution method. These sheets of Polymer composites were subjected to soft x-rays (30 KeV- 60KeV) switching studies at room temperature. These sheets found to provide the x-ray absorption69.6% higher than conventional shielding material like lead and are light in weight too.
