Organic Scintillators

An attempt has been made to calculate the effective atomic number and Kerma for photon energy absorption of organic scintillators in the energy region 1 keV to 20 MeV. We have chosen seven organic scintillators viz., anthracene, stilbene, naphthalene, p -terphenyl, PPO, butyl PBD and PBD. The Z PEA, eff and Kerma values are calculated by using mass-energy absorption coefficient from Hubbell and Seltzer. We also calculated Z PI, eff for total photon interaction with coherent scattering by using WinXCom and compared with the Z PEA, eff.

Mass Attenuation

The total mass attenuation coefficient, partial photon interaction and effective atomic number of commercial window added with BaSO4in have been investigated at photon energy from 1 keV to 100 GeV on the basis of calculation. The theoretical values of total and partial interaction were obtained by the WinXCom software. The variations of mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number with photon energy are shown graphically. The results show that the variation of mass attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number has changed with photon energy and composition of window. It has been found that these parameters increase with increasing BaSO4concentrations, due to the increasing photoelectric absorption in glass samples. These results showed that the BaSO4can improve radiation shielding properties in commercial glass and useful for radiation shielding material design.
