Abstract
Theoretical estimates are made for the enhancement of the absorption of x rays by ultradisperse media over that by ordinary polycrystalline materials of the same mass thickness. It is concluded that the use of materials based on ultradisperse powders can improve the characteristics of shielding against x rays and thermal neutrons.
