Design of Commercial Window as Radiation Shielding Using Domestic Raw Materials

Abstract:

The total mass attenuation coefficient, partial photon interaction and effective atomic number of commercial window added with BaSO4 in have been investigated at photon energy from 1 keV to 100 GeV on the basis of calculation. The theoretical values of total and partial interaction were obtained by the WinXCom software. The variations of mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number with photon energy are shown graphically. The results show that the variation of mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number has changed with photon energy and composition of window. It has been found that these parameters increase with increasing BaSO4 concentrations, due to the increasing photoelectric absorption in glass samples. These results showed that the BaSO4 can improve radiation shielding properties in commercial glass and useful for radiation shielding material design.
