ParShield: A computer program for calculating attenuation parameters of the gamma rays and the fast neutrons
32
TL;DR: ParShield as mentioned in this paper is a computer program that can calculate the total mass attenuation coefficients ( μ t ), the effective atomic numbers ( Z eff ) and the effective electron densities ( N eff ) for gamma rays and it can also calculate the effective removal cross-sections ( Σ R ) for fast neutrons for mixtures and compounds.

Investigation of structural, thermal properties and shielding parameters for multicomponent borate glasses for gamma and neutron radiation shielding applications
G. Lakshminarayana,S.O. Baki,Kawa M. Kaky,M.I. Sayyed,Huseyin Ozan Tekin,A. Lira,I.V. Kityk,Mohd Adzir Mahdi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used both XCOM and MCNPX code to determine the penetration of gamma and neutron radiations in the prepared borate glasses and found that all the synthesized glasses possess better shielding properties than ordinary concrete, zinc oxide soda lime silica glass and lead zinc phosphate glass indicating the high potentiality of the prepared glasses to be utilized as radiation shielding materials.
