Application of Monte Carlo Method for Gamma ray Attenuation Properties of Lead Zinc Borate Glasses

Öz:
This work aims to introduce an useful computational model, based in Monte Carlo simulation, which canbe used in practical application, and this paper presents values determined using a Monte Carlo algorithmfor linear attenuation coefficient of lead zinc borate glasses with different percentages of PbO. Thesimulation results have been verified with predictions from the XCOM program in the studied energy regionfrom 1 keV to 2000 keV and experimental results. Thus, this verification indicated that this research methodcan be followed to determine the interaction and attenuation of gamma rays with the several energies indifferent materials. Also, the values of mean free path and the half-value layer were calculated using thevalues of the linear attenuation coefficient. The dependence of these radiation shielding parameters on theenergy of impinging gamma ray and the ratio of substances changes has been examined.
