The aim of this study is to evaluate both buildup factors and photon attenuation effectiveness of some borate glasses doped by Cd, Fe, V, and Bi. The mass attenuation coefficients (μm) of these glass systems have been calculated via MCNP6 and GEANT4 computer simulation codes over 0.02–10 MeV energy...
