Abstract: meets key shielding criteria, making it a promising alternative for low-energy radiation protection. Incorporating silver halides significantly influences shielding efficiency, with AgBr proving the most effective. These findings highlight the potential of AgBr-doped selenium glass-ceramics as efficient radiation-shielding materials, offering a viable replacement for traditional options in specific shielding applications.
