Comparison 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...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Hole Transport In
Abstrati-The transport properties of holes in Si, _ ,Ge, are studied with a Monte Carlo technique. If the strain is applied to the Si, _ ,Ge, channel, it raises the degeneracy of the heavy-hole and light-hole bands: for compressive strain, the heavy-hole band lies at a higher energy than the light-hole band, while for tensile strain, the order reverses, although it is technologically uncertain ...
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 کاملPhoton Beam Transport in a Voxelized Human Phantom Model: Discrete Ordinates Vs Monte Carlo
With recent development of new methods such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for radiation delivery, dose fields can, in principle, be generated in near-conformal three-dimensional (3-D) distributions around a designated treatment volume, while minimizing exposure to vital organs. Because the intended dose distributions are sensitive to the assumed treatment geometry, the new del...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of Proton and Neutron Transport Based on the PENELOPE Code
This master thesis is a continuation of previous work done at Elekta Instrument AB for the joint objective of developing the Monte Carlo simulation program, Pegasos, for proton therapy. For this purpose, neutron transport with nuclear interactions has been implemented into the Pegasos framework. Nuclear data is provided from the TALYS nuclear code and for neutron-hydrogen nuclear interactions, ...
