This research aimed theory of gamma ray shielding properties investigation of (100-x)P 2 O 5 :xBaO glass systems (where x = 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75 mol. %), were calculated by WinXcom program. The theoretical values of the mass attenuation coefficient, effective atomic number, and electron density were investigated in the energy range of 1 keV to 10 8 keV. The partial interactions (photoelectric, coherent scattering, incoherent scattering, and pair production) were studied in this work. The results show the higher gamma ray shielding properties at the higher concentration of barium oxide in the glass formula. Moreover, the half value layer results have been compared with some standard shielding materials at 662 keV for gamma ray.
