Gamma ray shielding characteristics and exposure buildup factor for some natural rocks using MCNP-5 code
The mass attenuation coefficient μm for eight rock samples having different chemical composition was simulated using the MCNP 5 code in energy range (0.002MeV≤E≤10MeV). Moreover, the μm for the studied rock samples was computed theoretically using XCOM database. The comparison between simulated and...
