TLDR
In this paper, the theoretical investigations on the concept of new active radiation shields based on graphene are discussed and the cross section of the gamma and X radiation interaction with a charged graphene layer is presented and used to calculate the linear attenuation coefficient of the proposed shield.
Abstract
The theoretical investigations on the concept of new active radiation shields based on graphene are discussed. The cross section of the gamma and X radiation interaction with a charged graphene layer is presented and used to calculate the linear attenuation coefficient of the proposed shield. Finally, the technical concept and potential applications of the graphene shield, as well as some potential difficulties, are discussed.

Theoretical estimation of the increase in the photoelectric effect cross section of the X-ray interaction with charged graphene

TL;DR: Theoretical perspective discussions about negatively charged graphene slabs and their radiation properties are presented in this article, where it is shown that additional electrons in graphene, injected in a charging process, can enhance the value of the total cross section of photon radiation interactions, especially for X-rays and lower energies.

Radioadaptation and radioresistance during deep space travels

TL;DR: The radiation adaptive response phenomenon, also called radioadaptation, is a potential way for modern radiation protection during deep space travels as mentioned in this paper , which can help to improve astronauts' health after chronic irradiation by relative low dose-rates of ionizing radiation.

Ionizing radiation interaction with charged graphene: An experimental evaluation attempt

TL;DR: The experimental evaluation of photon radiation interaction with charged material was undertaken in this article, where gamma and X-ray radiation was directed at graphene deposited on copper foil with a constant electrostatic charge, and the radiation counter measured changes in the radiation intensity after passing the graphenous slab.
