Evaluation of the radiation shielding properties of ornamental rocks produced in Brazil: A Monte Carlo approach
In this work, the Monte Carlo MCNPX (2.7.0) code was used to evaluate the radioprotective properties of ten ornamental granitic samples produced in Brazil. For each sample of granite, the mass attenuation coefficient (µ/ρ) and half-value layer (HVL) were evaluated using the photon energy emitted by...
