Determination of total mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers and electron densities for different shielding materials

In this paper, the interaction of gamma rays with some shielding materials has been studied. The total mass attenuation coefficient () for eight shielding materials has been calculated by using WinXCOM program in the energy range from 1keV to 100GeV. Also, the effective atomic number () and the effe...
