An investigation on shielding properties of BaO, MoO3 and P2O5 based glasses using MCNPX code

An investigation on shielding properties of BaO, MoO3 and P2O5 based glasses using MCNPX code

In the present work, some radiation shielding quantities (mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic number, effective electron density, half value layer and mean free path) for various BaO–MoO3–P2O5 ternary glass systems have been determined within the 0.015–15 MeV energy range, using WinXCom...
