Comparison between MCNP5, Geant4 and experimental data for gamma rays attenuation of PbO–BaO–B2O3 glasses

Monte Carlo simulations, MCNP5 and Geant4 codes were developed to investigate radiation shielding properties of xPbO–(50-x) BaO–50B2O3 (where 5 ≤ x ≤ 45 mol%) consider to be glass systems. The mass attenuation coefficients were evaluated for different PbO concentration in the glass samples for varie...
