Abstract

We calculate the radiation shielding parameters of CoCrFeNiTiAlx alloys which consist of mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, mean free path, half-value layer, total atomic cross section, effective atomic number and effective electron number. For this, we use recently developed Phy-X/PSD and EpiXS softwares. We compare all the results with each other, and discuss the relationship between the results.
