Comparison of bentonite and Sn doped bentonite samples under the effects of proton and electron irradiation

Abstract

In this study, the effects of proton and electron radiations have been investigated for bentonite which has a potential usage for radiation shielding for mentioned radiation types. Clay doped variations and bentonite itself have been investigated by using GEANT4 simulation program in the energy range from 1 MeV to 100 MeV incoming particle energies. Obtained results for stopping power and penetrating distance values have been compared for each sample. Also, numerical results for each simulation considering both particle induce situations have been given
