Simulation of gamma-ray gamma rays by composite shields compared to the lead protection using the MCNPX code
Authors
Abstract:
In this study, cobalt 60 with a mean energy of (1.25 Mev) was used as a photonic source to investigate the effect of decreasing gamma-ray intensity by materials and polymer composite using MCNPX code. First, we investigated the effect of thickness and density on the reduction of gamma ray intensity, and then the comparison between the lead protector, tungsten and polymer composite in several thicknesses was simulated by MCNPX code and recorded.

Designed free-lead composite shields for diagnostic medicine radiation fields by using MCNPX code
Introduction: Nowadays, applications of free-lead radiation shields are increased specially for weighting factor and toxicity of lead elements. Although touching the lead may be results in the nervousand blood system of body, it is not exactly proven yet. Protective measures are the fundamental parts of radiation protection. On the other hand, high weighting factor of lead sh...

Background: In recent years, there has been an increased interest toward non-lead radiation shields consisting of small-sized filler particles doped into polymer matrices. In this paper, we study a new polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/WO3 composite in the presence of high-energy gamma photons through simulation via the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulation code. Materia...

Introduction: Gamma Knife is an instrument specially designed for treating brain disorders. In Gamma Knife, there are 201 narrow beams of cobalt-60 sources that intersect at an isocenter point to treat brain tumors. The tumor is placed at the isocenter and is treated by the emitted gamma rays. Therefore, there is a high dose at this point and a low dose is delivered to the normal tissue surroun...

Preparation and characterization of Epoxy/Lead oxide nano-composite for shield against gamma and X-rays
Polymer nano-composites are a group of materials that represent proper mechanical, chemical, thermal and optical properties due to the presence of certain percentages of a filler in a polymeric matrix. In this study lead oxide nanoparticles were prepared by direct precipitation method. Then the lead oxide-epoxy resin nanocomposite was prepared by mixing (without solvent) with different weight p...
