Abstract
Y123 and Y358 high-temperature superconductor phases have experimental mass attenuation coefficients (MAC) determined at 46.5, 81, 122, 302, 356, 383, 662, 1173, and 1332 keV photon energies. The experimental values have been compared with theoretical values acquired employing the XCOM software and database. It has been observed that the theoretical and the empirical results were in perfect agreement. Also, it has been seen that the comparison of the MACs for all specimens examined with the corresponding photon energies complies with the exponential absorption law. The effective atomic numbers (Zeff) and electron densities (Nel) of Y123 and Y358 superconducting phases in different energy ranges have determined experimentally and theoretically. The Y358 superconductor specimen is a relatively better absorber than the Y123 between 40 and 100 keV.
