Abstract

Abstract: In this study, the photon interactions of WO3-TeO3 glass system have been calculated using WinXCom program at energy 1 keV-10 3 keV. The mass attenuation coefficient (μm ) and the partial interactions were presented. The results show that the values of μm increased toward the decrease of gamma ray energies, indicates the dependence of the mass attenuation coefficient values on the photon energy. The partial interactions found that three energy ranges relative to the partial processes photoelectric absorption, Compton scattering and coherent scattering. These glass sample was observed that the photoelectric absorption found to be the main interaction of energy range. The discontinuous of glass sample illustrate that it occur from photoelectric absorption edge of sample element compositions at low photon energies. The coherent scattering found to be significant at low photon energy and rapidly decreases with increasing of photon energy but the Compton scattering, the values was slightly increase with increasing of photon energy.
