Evaluation of dose distribution of 12C ion beam in radiotherapy by FLUKA as a Monte Carlo simulation Code
Introduction: Nowadays, the use of heavy ion beams in cancer therapy have been developed worldwide. Materials and Methods: It requires accurate understanding of the complex processes of ion interaction with matter, as it is the calculation the relative dose & range of these ions in matter. In the present study we used FLUKA as a numerical Monte Carlo simula...
متن کاملRecent improvements on the description of hadronic interactions in Geant4
We present an overview of recent improvements of hadronic models in Geant4 for the physics configurations (Physics Lists) relevant to applications in high energy experiments. During last year the improvements have concentrated on the study of unphysical discontinuities in calorimeter observables in the transition regions between the models used in Physics Lists. The microscopic origin of these ...

PURPOSE To test and to develop Geant4 (Geometry And Tracking version 4) Monte Carlo hadronic models with focus on applications in a space radiation environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The Monte Carlo simulations have been performed using the Geant4 toolkit. Binary (BIC), its extension for incident light ions (BIC-ion) and Bertini (BERT) cascades were used as main Monte Carlo generators. For co...
متن کاملA method for range calculation of proton in liquid water: Validation study using Monte Carlo method and NIST data
Introduction: The main advantage of using ion beams over photons in radiotherapy is due to their inverse depth-dose profiles, allowing higher doses to tumors, while better sparing normal tissues. When calculating dose distributions with ion beams, one crucial point is the uncertainty of the Bragg-peak range. Recently great effort is devoted to enhance the accuracy of the comput...
