Evaluation of gamma-ray exposure buildup factors and neutron shielding for bismuth borosilicate glasses

A Comprehensive Study on Gamma Rays and Fast Neutron Sensing Properties of GAGOC and CMO Scintillators for Shielding Radiation Applications

“…There are slight variations in N el results for various GAGCO and CMO scintillator materials where a higher result of N el would indicate an increased probability of photon-electron energy transfer and energy deposition into the material. The results of N el present identical photon energy dependence to what was observed for Z eff [23]. This behavior has been confirmed in Figure 6 which showing a correlation of Z eff and N el .…”

“…The values of ∑ R are 0.121 and 0.048 cm −1 for GAGCO and CMO, respectively. The height value of ∑ R was found for GAGCO-this may be attributed to the fact that the elements that have a high Z number are greatly accountable to the removal of fast neutrons as the elements that have a low Z number do [23].…”

Structural, optical and magnetic properties of γ-irradiated SiO2 xerogel doped Fe2O3

“…The high stability of the FTIR and EPR intensities at 60 kGy where Compton scattering is predominant, suggests that glasses in the present study is a good substitute for SiO 2 in radiation shielding glasses. This work is different from previous literature [65][66][67][68] for the reason that we are reporting shielding properties in wide energy region of silicate glass. Nowadays, over 95% of window and glass in commercial is silicate based glass.…”

Neutron shielding qualities and gamma ray buildup factors of concretes containing limonite ore

“…When gamma radiations have interacted with matter through Compton scattering, the energy of incident photon reduces and its direction also changes in the way that the results in creating scattered photons can be estimated by the buildup factor (Singh et al, 2010). The buildup factors have been widely studied by a few researchers (Küç ük, 2010;Singh et al, 2010;Manohara et al, 2010;Mann and Korkut, 2013;Kavaz et al, 2015;Singh et al, 2014aSingh et al, , 2014b. The buildup factors can be summarised by the following types:…”
