Abstract

The radiation attenuation properties of gamma-ray have been studied for cement containing with BaSO4 and PbO. The mass attenuation coefficients (μ/ρ, cm2 g-1) of cement have been calculated by theoretical approach using WinXCom program at the photon energies of 1 keV to 100 GeV. The composition of cement was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF). The variations of mass attenuation coefficients are shown graphically for total and partial photon interaction. The obtained results showed that the values of this parameter were changed with energy and concentration of BaSO4 and PbO. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
