Photon interaction and energy absorption in glass: A transparent gamma ray shield
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The effective atomic number, Zeff, the effective electron density, Ne,eff, and the energy dependence, ED, have been calculated at photon energies from 1 keV to 1 GeV for CaO–SrO–B2O3, PbO–B2O3, Bi2O3–B2O3, and PbO–Bi2O3–B2O3 glasses with potential applications as gamma ray shielding materials. For medium-Z glasses, Zeff is about constant and equal to the mean atomic number in a wide energy range, typically 0.3
