The significant role of WO3 on high-dense BaO–P2O3 glasses: transmission factors and a comparative investigation using commercial and other types of shields

Exploring the Radioprotective Indium (III) Oxide Screens for Mammography Scans Using a Three-Layer Heterogeneous Breast Phantom and MCNPX: A Comparative Study Using Clinical Findings

“…This computation was reviewed as a preliminary step, and the primary photon-flux reductions through the protective TZI8 and lead-acrylic shielding screens were computed and firstly compared with the following phase of calculations. The transmission factor is the ratio of the amount of secondary photon flux (also known as the secondary photon beam) passing through the absorber material to the quantity of primary photon flux (the primary photon beam) [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. The small secondary-flux value is associated with the material’s high absorption, and because the primary-photon-flux value is constant, this ratio is expected to be small in materials with superior absorption properties.…”

A closer look at the efficiency calibration of LaBr3(Ce) and NaI(Tl) scintillation detectors using MCNPX for various types of nuclear investigations

“…Monte Carlo simulations have been used efficiently in radiation protection [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], materials research [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], detector design [ 21 , 22 , 23 ], and medical applications [ 24 ]. In this work, two different 2 × 2 inch NaI(Tl) and LaBr3(Ce) scintillation detectors were modeled in terms of their full energy peak efficiency measurements and comparisons.…”
