Evaluation of the shielding parameters of alkaline earth based phosphate glasses using MCNPX code

Glass systems of composition 16XO–3Al2O3–6CuO–20Na2O–55P2O5 (where X = Sr, Ca, Mg and Ba mol%) have been investigated to check its potential utilize as gamma ray shielding material. Different shielding quantities namely mass attenuation coefficient (µ/ρ), effective atomic number (Zeff), half value l...
