Comparison of nanodosimetric parameters of track structure calculated by the Monte Carlo codes Geant4-DNA and PTra.
The concept of nanodosimetry is based on the assumption that initial damage to cells is related to the number of ionizations (the ionization cluster size) directly produced by single particles within, or in the close vicinity of, short segments of DNA. The ionization cluster-size distribution and other nanodosimetric quantities, however, are not directly measurable in biological targets and our...
متن کاملDevelopment of Monte Carlo track structure codes
When ionizing radiation interacts with matter, by its basic definition, it produces free electrons and residual positive ions. Thus, one might think initially that all ionizing radiation should produce the same biologic damage. This, however, is not so. When what we traditionally call x-rays (energies from a few 10s of eV to a few hundred keV) interact with an absorber, whether it is a gas, liq...
متن کاملAn Intra-comparison between Geant4-dna and a Variety of Monte Carlo Codes 2
20 Modelling the radio-induced effects in biological medium requires accurate physics models to 21 describe in detail the main physical interactions induced by all the charged particles present in 22 the irradiated medium (secondary as well as primary ones). These interactions include 23 inelastic events like ionization and excitation processes as well as elastic scattering, the latter 24 being...
متن کاملComparison of ScintSim1 and Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation codes for optical photon transport in thick segmented scintillator arrays
Introduction: Arrays of segmented scintillation crystals are useful in megavoltage x-ray imaging detectors for image-guided radiotherapy. Most previous theoretical studies on these detectors have modelled only ionizing-radiation transport. Scintillation light also affects detector performance. ScintSim1, our previously reported optical Monte Carlo code for such detector...
