Eshghi Department t of Physics, Imam Hossein Comprehensive University, Tehran, Iran 0000-0002-5900-7683 Journal Article 2024 01 30 In this research, we have investigated features of the ionizing radiation shielding of glasses, <br />, in the photon energy of 15 keV to 15 MeV. We have calculated mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) by using the Monte Carlo simulations such as Geant4 tool, XMuDat and XCOM computing programs. In the continuation of the investigation of the protection feature, we have obtained the linear attenuation coefficient (LAC), half-value layer (HVL), tenth-value layer (TVL), and mean free path (MFP). The photon flux passing through the samples in different thicknesses of chosen materials in front of the  radioactive source has been shown. At the end, the energy spectrum of neutrons passing have been shown through selected samples and the ratio of transiting neutrons in the presence of samples to the ratio of transiting neutrons in the absence of selected samples and in different thicknesses. https://ppam.semnan.ac.ir/article_8845_ff82db7535530637af7f8a96284b3459.pdf
