Abstract Background The choice of nuclear interaction models in Monte Carlo simulations affects the dose calculation accuracy for light ion beam therapy. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the dose calculation accuracy and simulation time of three GATE‐RTiON/Geant4 physics lists for therapeutic carbon ion beams, assessing their suitability for ...

The small-angle neutron scattering extension in MCNPX and the SANS cross section for nanodiamonds
Detonation nanodiamonds provide an intriguing prospect for the development of a very cold neutron (VCN) source or as a high albedo material for VCN reflection helping to control leakage of cold and very cold neutrons in a moderator.

Abstract Background Radiobiological data suggests variations in relative biological effectiveness (RBE) between clinically used photon‐based sources. A microdosimetric formalism using Monte Carlo (MC) methods can mechanistically describe the photon RBE.

Counterintuitive MCNPX results for scintillator surface roughness effect [PDF]
We performed a number of comparative MCNPX simulations of gamma energy depositions of scintillation crystals with smooth and rough surfaces. In the study, nine surface patterns (8 micro-roughness + 1 smooth) were coupled with eight common scintillation crystals for a total of 72 possible combinations.

Abstract Ionising γ radiation produces reactive oxygen species by water radiolysis, providing an interesting model approach for studying oxidative stress in plants. Three‐week old plants of Arabidopsis thaliana were exposed to a low dose rate (25 mGy h−1) of γ radiation for up to 21 days. This treatment had no effect on plant growth and morphology, but

The MCNPX Monte Carlo Radiation Transport Code
MCNPX (Monte Carlo N‐Particle eXtended) is a general‐purpose Monte Carlo radiation transport code with three‐dimensional geometry and continuous‐energy transport of 34 particles and light ions. It contains flexible source and tally options, interactive graphics, and support for both sequential and multi‐processing computer platforms.

Abstract Background With recent interest in patient‐specific dosimetry for radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) and selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), an increasing number of voxel‐based algorithms are being evaluated. Monte Carlo (MC) radiation transport, generally considered to be the most accurate among different methods for voxel‐level ...
