Abstract
For more than at decade, oxy-fuoride glasses are the main interest for many researchers. This is due to the
importance of glasses as it is used for many different applications. Radiation shielding is one of the important
application as it is important for human health. In this study, the gamma ray shielding characters of glasses
formulated as (20-x)CaF2-xAl2O3–20Bi2O3–59B2O3–CuO (x = 3,6,9,12,15) were investigated. This is done
obtaining of linear attenuation coefficients (LAC), effective atomic number (Zeff) and effective electron density
(Neff) using Phy-X/PSD code.
