Özet
The presented study focused on investigating the radiation shielding properties of polyester/pyrite/niobium diboride (FeSNbB) composites. Various gamma-ray shielding parameters were evaluated with help of a HPGe detector system. Theoretical and simulation results are further evaluated by WinXCOM, GEANT4 and FLUKA codes, and the obtained results are compared with experimental values in the energy region 59.5 keV-1332.5 keV. The prepared samples are additionally evaluated using kerma relative to air values and Exposure build-up factors. Then, for the evaluation of neutron radiation shielding, effective removal cross sections for fast neutrons were determined for FeSNbB composites. Electron attenuation efficiency (AE%) for the produced composites was assessed across the energy spectrum of 4 MeV-18 MeV, utilizing experimental data from a Linac machine and theoretical predictions from Eclipse TPS. The results were found to be compatible with each other. FeSNbB50 has the best shielding properties among the studied composites.
