摘要：
In this paper, the investigation of the Electron-Photon Interaction Cross Sections 2017 (EPICS2017) library on the shielding characteristics of several glasses under various chemical systems is presented. The EPICS2017 library of ENDF/B-VIII was interpolated to calculate the mass attenuation coefficients (MACs) of selected glass systems. Results from EPICS2017 have been compared with values from experimental and theoretical methods used to evaluate the photon shielding properties. The EPICS2017 estimations strongly agreed with experimental MAC results. The MAC values from several Monte Carlo codes (Geant4, MCNP4C, MCNP5, and FLUKA) based on EPDL97 or EPDL89 strongly agreed with EPICS2017-based interpolation, within reasonable deviations. The obtained results indicate that EPICS2017 can be used to evaluate the MACs for any glass system in which there are no experimental values available at various photon energies. It was demonstrated that the linear EPICS2017 library can be a considerable tool in future photon shielding research and developments of glass systems, as a recent alternative to the widely used XCOM by NIST.
