Description
Full text: The mass attenuation coefficient, total interaction cross-section and effective atomic number of x Pb O:(100-x)B2O3 where 30≤ x ≥70 (% weight) glass system have been investigated at 662 keV on the basis of the mixture rule. The results are in good agreement with the theoretical values, calculated by Win X Com. Mass attenuation coefficients increase with Pb O content, due to higher probability of photoelectric absorption in glass. However, Compton scattering gives dominant contribution to the total mass attenuation coefficients for the glass samples studied. The shielding properties of the glass samples are also better than ordinary shielding concretes and commercial window glass which can be used with advantage as transparent in visible region. These results indicate the potential of glasses as radiation shielding materials
