Characterization of the light and flexible nonlead aprons as an alternative to Pb-PVC. [PDF]
J Appl Clin Med PhysAbstract Background Radiation shielding is crucial for protecting healthcare professionals from scatter radiation during x‐ray procedures. Conventional lead aprons, although effective, are limited by their high weight, low flexibility, and potential toxicity.

An MCNPX accelerator beam source
Progress in Nuclear Energy, 2009 Abstract We have developed a new source feature for MCNPX that enables the transport of particles in a field-free drift region for a beam produced by an accelerator. The beam representation is based on the formulation used in the TRANSPORT charged-particle-beam code.

Low-energy neutron propagation in MCNPX and GEANT4 [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 2006 Simulations of neutron background from rock for underground experiments are presented. Neutron propagation through two types of rock, lead and hydrocarbon material is discussed. The results show a reasonably good agreement between GEANT4, MCNPX and GEANT3 in transporting low-energy neutrons.
