Development 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 کاملAssessment of secondary particles in breast proton therapy by Monte Carlo simulation code using MCNPX
Background: The present study aimed to investigate the equivalent dose in vital organs, including heart and lung, due to secondary particles produced during breast proton therapy. Materials and Methods: The numerical ORNL female-phantom was improved and simulated using the Monte Carlo MCNPX code. The depth-dose profile of proton beams with different energies was simulated. The proper energy ran...
متن کاملEfficient Monte Carlo Simulation of Biological Aging
Received () Revised () A bit-string model of biological life-histories is parallelized, with hundreds of millions of individuals. It gives the desired drastic decay of survival probabilities with increasing age for 32 age intervals.
متن کاملMonte Carlo track simulations
Monte Carlo track structure simulations follow the primary as well as all produced secondary particles event-by-event, from starting or ejection energy down to total stopping. Simulation codes require both transport models and reliable interaction cross sections for the primary and secondary particles with the material under consideration. In general, charged particles can scatter elastically (...
متن کاملA comparison of arrived dose to the heart in the treatment of breast cancer in different modes of proton radiation by proton therapy using Monte Carlo simulation
Introdution: Today, the Advantages of radiation therapy by charged particles is indicated for the treatment of cancerous. During the passing of proton beam in the body tissues, secondary particles produce, which penetrate to the body healthy tissues and cause damage. The aim of this research was calculating the Spread out Bragg Peak for covering the breast cancer and investigating arrived dose ...
