Description
The study investigates the radiation attenuation performance of five ternary glass systems with varying chemical compositions: 50P$_2$O$_5$-(50-x)BaO-xEu$_2$O$_3$, where x = 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 mol%. It utilizes theoretical and Monte Carlo methods to determine shielding parameters such as attenuation coefficients, mean free path, value layers, electron densities, conductivity and neutron removal cross-sections across an energy range from 1 keV to 100 GeV. In addition to these analyses, the study explores kinetic energy stopping potentials and projected ranges of ions (H$^{+}$, He$^{+}$, and C$^{+}$) through the Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter database. Furthermore, research evaluates the dose rate attenuation behaviour and trajectories of photons bombarded from $^{137}$Cs and $^{60}$Co sources using Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System. Obtained results show that sample: 50P$_2$O$_5$-44BaO-6Eu$_2$O$_3$ with higher Eu$^{3+}$-doped glass has a potential for radiation shielding application among selected samples and is comparable with previously recommended, tested polymer and glass samples.
