EGSnrc calculation of activity calibration factors for the Vinten ionization chamber

open access: yesApplied Radiation and Isotopes, 2018
The National Physical Laboratory Vinten 671 chamber was selected as a proving ground for a new radionuclide source model in the EGSnrc software. The computational Vinten model is validated against measurements of radionuclide artifacts whose activities were determined by absolute methods.

CSnrc: correlated sampling Monte Carlo calculations using EGSnrc.

Medical physics, 2004
CSnrc, a new user-code for the EGSnrc Monte Carlo system is described. This user-code improves the efficiency when calculating ratios of doses from similar geometries. It uses a correlated sampling variance reduction technique. CSnrc is developed from an existing EGSnrc user-code CAVRZnrc and improves upon the correlated sampling algorithm used in an ...

Simulation of phoswich detectors using MCNPX and EGSNRC

Radiation Protection Dosimetry, 2010
The in vivo monitoring Lab at KIT uses two phoswich detectors for routine lung counting. A simplified model of one of them has been implemented in the two Monte Carlo codes EGSnrc and MCNPX. The active part of the detector consists of a crystal of NaI(Tl) and one of CsI(Tl): the energy deposited in both the crystals have been studied to consider the ...

Optimization of dual electron multileaf collimator materials by use of EGSnrc

Radiological Physics and Technology, 2010
A dual electron multileaf collimator (eMLC) has recently been proposed and ascertained to be effective in the collimation of therapy electron beams. The EGSnrc Monte Carlo code has been used in the optimization of the dual eMLC by simulation of the Varian 2100C medical linear accelerator with the applicator completely replaced by the dual eMLC, and ...

Poster ‐ 18: New features in EGSnrc for photon cross sections

Medical Physics, 2016
Purpose:To implement two new features in the EGSnrc Monte Carlo system. The first is an option to account for photonuclear attenuation, which can contribute a few percent to the total cross section at the higher end of the energy range of interest to medical physics.
