“…The gamma-ray shielding ability of the materials can be studied by using WinXcom program, experimental measurements or Monte Carlo simulation. These methods depend on Beer-Lambert law that can applied in the case of narrow beam geometry [12,13]. However, the experimental is restricted to limited photon energies that can not be found easily or cheaply [14][15][16].…”

This paper examines the gamma-ray shielding features of some selected tellurite-based glasses in the form of xMoO 3 (100−x)TeO 2 (20 x 50 mol%). Mass attenuation coefficients (μ m ) of these glasses have been calculated using Geant4 toolkit and XCOM program for photon energy range of 1 keV-1000 MeV. The correlation factor (R 2 ) between these two methods was found to be almost one. Shielding effectiveness for these glasses has been estimated by computing half value layer (HVL), effective atomic number (Z eff ), and mean free paths (MFP). It was noticed that the heavy metal oxide of TeO 2 plays an important role in improving the shielding effectiveness of the glasses. The Mo20Te80 glass has shown the promising properties to serve for gamma ray protection applications as compared with many conventional concretes and other newly developed glasses.

“…The mass attenuation coefficient µ m (cm 2 /g) can be defined as a ratio of the linear attenuation coefficient of the absorber to unit density. This parameter is important to use in the calculation of many photon interaction parameters [19]. The relationship between the linear attenuation coefficient and the mass attenuation coefficient is also given as follows:…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the linear attenuation coeﬃcient, the mass attenuation coeﬃcient, Half Value Layer. Tenth Value Layer and Mean Free Path for four diﬀerent shielding materials such as aluminium, iron, zirconium and tungsten. By using the gamma-radiation energies emitted from 152Eu, 22Na, 137Cs, and 60Co radioactive sources. For this purpose, the attenuation measurements were performed using NaI(TI) detector. Calculated values of all parameters of the all shielding materials were compared with each other. The results of all presented parameters show that, tungsten has the best radiation shielding compared to other shielding materials. Then, the obtained parameters were compared with the theoretical values.

This research focalized on the gamma ray attenuation charesteristics of real bone and manganese substituted Nano hydroxyapatite artificial bone dusts. The current samples were excited with using 59.5 keV photons emitted from an 241 Am annular radioisotope source with 50 mCi activity by using a narrow beam transmission geometry and detected with using Ultra Low Energy Germanium detector with a resolution 150 eV at 5,95 keV experimentally. The gamma-ray attenuation parameters such as linear attenuation coefficient, half value layer, tenth value layer and mean free path are also calculated experimentally and theoretically. The present results points out that the attenuation values of the manganese substituted hydroxyapatite artificial bone dust is very close to the value of the real bone.
