ABSTRACT = {The need for effective shielding materials has grown as radiation-based technologies have 
been more widely used. Glasses doped with rare earth elements like neodymium oxide, are 
promising candidates due to their enhanced radiation attenuation properties. Using Phy-X 
software, this research examines how neodymium oxide doping affects the shielding 
properties of yttrium lead borotellurite glass. X-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous 
structure, while density measurements showed increased density with neodymium oxide 
addition. The Phy-X software calculated radiation shielding parameters for gamma energies 
from 10<sup>⁻³</sup> to 10<sup>⁵</sup> MeV. The results demonstrate that neodymium oxide improves gamma 
irradiation attenuation and enhances the glass system's radiation shielding capabilities.},
