[Display omitted] • Bi 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 -PbO glasses are examined for γ -, α -, e − , proton, and neutron radiation shielding. • Relevant theoretical and computational approaches are utilized to derive all radiation attenuation qualities. • 20–1524 keV photon energy range is considered to obtain various γ -ray interaction parameters. • The geometric progression (G–P) fitting method is applied to determine the EBFs and EABFs. • 20Bi 2 O 3 -20B 2 O 3 -60PbO (mol%) glass shows superior γ -ray and fast neutrons attenuation efficacies. MCNPX, Geant4 and FLUKA codes are employed to compute mass attenuation coefficients (μ / ρ) for 20Bi 2 O 3 -(80- x)B 2 O 3 - x PbO (x = 0, 20, 30, 40 and 60 mol%) glasses at 20, 30, 40 and 60 KeV, 133 Ba (81, 161, 223, 276, 303, 356 and 384 keV), 57 Co (122 and 136 KeV), 22 Na (511 and 1275 keV), 137 Cs (662 keV), 54 Mn (835 keV), 60 Co (1173 and 1333 keV) and 42 K (1524 keV) photon peaks where 20, 30, 40 and 60 KeV energies are utilized for Mammography, Dental, General and Computed tomography (CT) scanning accordingly, in this study. All simulated μ/ρ outcomes accuracy was verified by WinXCOM and Phy-X/PSD programs' μ/ρ findings and we noticed a satisfactory agreement among them. From μ/ρ and linear attenuation coefficient (μ) values effective atomic number (Z eff), effective electron density (N eff), half-value layer (HVL), tenth-value layer (TVL) and mean free path (MFP) have been determined. 20Bi 2 O 3 -20B 2 O 3 -60PbO (mol%) glass HVL and MFP have been compared with some commercial glasses, alloys, polymers, concretes and lead and ceramics corresponding values. Later equivalent atomic numbers (Z eq) and applying geometric progression (G – P) fitting method at 1 – 40 mfp penetration depths (PDs) at 0.015–15 MeV energy range exposure buildup factors (EBFs) and energy absorption buildup factors (EABFs) were estimated. At all selected twenty energies derived radiation protection efficiency (RPE) results confirmed studied samples' excellent efficacy for low energy photons absorption. Moreover, applying SRIM codes mass stopping powers (MSPs) and projected ranges (PRs) for protons and α -particles and utilizing ESTAR database electron MSPs and continuous slowing down approximation (CSDA) range for electrons were determined at kinetic energy (KE) range of 0.015–15 MeV. Further fast neutron removal cross-sections (Σ R), for 0.0253 eV energy neutrons coherent and incoherent scattering cross-sections (σ cs and σ ics), absorption cross-section (σ A) and total cross-section (σ T) quantities were evaluated. Derived Σ R was changed at 0.1166–0.123 cm −1 range depending on PbO addition in chosen samples. 20Bi 2 O 3 -80B 2 O 3 (mol%) glass has larger σ T (23.094 cm −1 ) in all studied samples for thermal neutron absorption while 20Bi 2 O 3 -20B 2 O 3 -60PbO (mol%) sample shows superior attenuation factors for photons and fast neutrons signifying included PbO positive effect.
