Photon attenuations of trichloride of gadolinium by Geant4 and XCom: A comparative study

The total mass attenuation coefficient of trichloride gadolinium has been investigated utilizing Geant4 compared with WinXCom simulation data at energies; 1-10 MeV. The simulated results are used to calculate the total cross section, atomic and electronic cross sections. The aim of this work is to c...
