Abstract
The gamma shielding parameters of [(TeO2)0.7(B2O3)0.3]1-x(BaO)x glass system in terms of attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number and electron density have been obtained theoretically by WinXCOM programme. The mass attenuation coefficient of all glasses increases with increasing amount of barium oxide, BaO. In present work, the highest composition of BaO in glass system (x = 0.25 mol %) give the highest value of mass attenuation coefficient, μm. Another shielding parameter such as effective atomic number (Zeff) and electron density (Ne) estimated using WinXCOM programme are depending to the barium composition and photon energy.
