Abstract In this work, we reported the gamma ray shielding factors for barium phosphate glasses with composition yCaF2–(50−y)BaO–50P2O5 (y = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mol%). The Phy-X/PSD software has been used to report the attenuation and penetration factors for this glass system at different energies. The linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) values are found to reduce exponentially with increasing the energy and they range from 0.176 to 0.496 cm−1 (for CaBaP1) and 0.184–0.548 cm−1 (for CaBaP6). It was found that the addition of barium oxide (BaO) causes an increase in the LAC values from 0.697 to 0.787 cm−1 at 0.284 MeV, and from 0.259 to 0.273 cm−1 at 0.662 MeV. The effective atomic number (Zeff) results revealed the higher photons interaction possibility at the higher BaO content. The maximum Zeff is reported at 0.284 MeV and equal to 18.33 for CaBaP1and 20.15 for CaBaP6. Phy-X/PSD program has been used to find the half value layer (HVL) for the glasses under evaluation between 0.284 and 1.33 MeV. The HVL results showed that more gamma rays are being shielded at 0.284 MeV, whereas the possibility of photon shielding is decreased with the increasing of the energy. The tenth value layer (TVL) values were decreased with increase in BaO concentrations and increased with increase in the energy. CaBaP6 has the minimum TVL (4.206 cm at 0.284 MeV, 8.445 cm at 0.662 MeV and 12.252 cm at 1.275 MeV).

使用 Phy-X / PSD 计算机程序评估 CaF2-BaO-P2O5 玻璃体系的伽马射线屏蔽特性

摘要 在这项工作中，我们报道了组成为 yCaF2–(50−y)BaO–50P2O5 (y = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 和 10 mol%) 的磷酸钡玻璃的伽马射线屏蔽因子。Phy-X/PSD 软件已用于报告该玻璃系统在不同能量下的衰减和穿透系数。发现线性衰减系数 (LAC) 值随着能量的增加呈指数降低，它们的范围从 0.176 到 0.496 cm-1（对于 CaBaP1）和 0.184–0.548 cm-1（对于 CaBaP6）。发现添加氧化钡 (BaO) 导致 LAC 值在 0.284 MeV 时从 0.697 增加到 0.787 cm-1，在 0.662 MeV 时从 0.259 增加到 0.273 cm-1。有效原子序数 (Zeff) 结果表明 BaO 含量较高时光子相互作用的可能性较高。最大 Zeff 报告为 0.284 MeV，等于 18。CaBaP1 为 33，CaBaP6 为 20.15。Phy-X/PSD 程序已被用于在 0.284 和 1.33 MeV 之间找到被评估玻璃的半值层 (HVL)。HVL 结果表明，更多的伽马射线在 0.284 MeV 处被屏蔽，而光子屏蔽的可能性随着能量的增加而降低。第十值层 (TVL) 值随着 BaO 浓度的增加而降低，并随着能量的增加而增加。CaBaP6 具有最小 TVL（0.284 MeV 时为 4.206 cm，0.662 MeV 时为 8.445 cm，1.275 MeV 时为 12.252 cm）。而光子屏蔽的可能性随着能量的增加而降低。第十值层 (TVL) 值随着 BaO 浓度的增加而降低，并随着能量的增加而增加。CaBaP6 具有最小 TVL（0.284 MeV 时为 4.206 cm，0.662 MeV 时为 8.445 cm，1.275 MeV 时为 12.252 cm）。而光子屏蔽的可能性随着能量的增加而降低。第十值层 (TVL) 值随着 BaO 浓度的增加而降低，并随着能量的增加而增加。CaBaP6 具有最小 TVL（0.284 MeV 时为 4.206 cm，0.662 MeV 时为 8.445 cm，1.275 MeV 时为 12.252 cm）。
