Investigation of shielding parameters of some boron containing resources for gamma ray and fast neutron

Investigation of shielding parameters of some boron containing resources for gamma ray and fast neutron

Mass attenuation coefficient (μt) of some boron containing resources in China were investigated in the paper at 0.001–20 MeV through XCOM and Geant4. What’s more, half value thickness layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Zeff) and electron density (Ne) were calculated. In addi...
