Investigation of gamma radiation shielding properties of polyethylene glycol in the energy range from 8.67 to 23.19 keV

H. Akhdar et al.

Summary: The mass attenuation coefficients of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with different molecular weights were measured and compared to theoretical values and simulation results. The study found that the composition of PEG and photon energy have an impact on the attenuation coefficients and half value layers.

Neutron shielding characteristics of polymer composites with boron carbide

Tuncay Tuna et al.

Summary: The neutron shielding capabilities of boron carbide (B4C)-reinforced polyester-matrix composite materials were investigated in this study. The shielding effectiveness increased with specimen thickness and B4C reinforcement, but started to decrease after reaching 40% and 50% ratios. Experimental data closely matched computational results.

EpiXS: A Windows-based program for photon attenuation, dosimetry and shielding based on EPICS2017 (ENDF/B-VIII) and EPDL97 (ENDF/B-VI.8)

Frederick C. Hila et al.

Summary: The EpiXS application software is designed for photon attenuation, dosimetry, and shielding calculations based on EPICS2017 and EPDL97 libraries. It can interpolate data, calculate various cross sections, and provide quick interactive graphing and data tabulations. Comparisons with published results and other programs show good agreement, highlighting the value of the latest EPICS2017.
