Effect of the new photoatomic data library EPDL2017 to mass attenuation coefficient calculation of materials used in the nuclear medicine facilities using EpiXS software

A theoretical focus on nanoparticle attenuation capabilities for potential utilizations in radiation protect: TiO2-SiO2-Fe3O4-B4C-Al2O3

“…In this context, many parameters (Mass Attenuation Coefficient (MAC), Linear Attenuation Coefficient (LAC), Half Value Layer (HVL), Mean Free Path (MFP), Atomic Cross-Sections, Total Electronic Cross-Sections, Effective Atomic Number (Z eff ), Effective Electron Density (N eff ), Effective Conductivity (C eff ), Fast Neutron Removal Cross-Section (FNRCS), Exposure Build-up Factor (EBF), and Energy Absorption Build-up Factor (EABF)) are used to test the radiation absorption performance of the NCs formed, and all these parameters used in the study are presented in table 1 [56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64].…”

“…Phy-X/PSD is a program that calculates the photon cross-sections and energy deposition in materials [56][57][58], while EpiXS is a Monte Carlo simulation program that can accurately predict radiation transport and energy deposition in complex geometries [59][60][61][62][63]. XMuDAT is a software package for calculating attenuation coefficients and cross-sections for various materials [19,46,[64][65][66].…”
