Abstract In this work, photon attenuation performances of the selected TeO2–ZnO–Nb2O5–Gd2O3 glasses have been investigated at various energy points using Phy-X/PSD software. Additionally, neutron shielding properties have been estimated. Dependencies of radiation attenuation capacities with the photon energy and the compositions have been evaluated ...

Abstract A user friendly online Photon Shielding and Dosimetry (PSD) software available at https://phy-x.net/PSD has been developed for calculation of parameters relevant to shielding and dosimetry. These parameters include linear and mass attenuation coefficients (LAC, MAC), half and tenth value layers (HVL, TVL), mean free path (MFP), effective ...

Hybrid Phy-X/PSD–Geant4 Assessment of Gamma and Neutron Shielding in Lead-Free HDPE Composites Reinforced with High-Z Oxides [PDF]
This study evaluates lead-free high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites reinforced with high-Z oxides (Bi2O3, WO3, Gd2O3, TeO2, and a Bi2O3/WO3 hybrid) as lightweight materials for gamma-ray and fast-neutron shielding. A hybrid computational framework combining Phy-X/PSD with Geant4 Monte Carlo simulations was used to obtain key shielding parameters,
