The photon attenuation coefficients of 20WO3-(80-x) TeO2-xPbO (where x = 10, 12.5, 15, 17.5 and 20 mol %) tellurite glasses have been studied in the energy region of 1 keV–100 GeV. The addition of PbO into the glass system increases the mass attenuation coefficients and decreases the mean free path...
