DOSE ESTIMATION OF THE BNCT WATER PHANTOM BASED ON MCNPX COMPUTER CODE SIMULATION
Cancer is a malignant tumor that destroys healthy cells. Cancer treatment can be done by several methods, one of which is BNCT. BNCT uses 10B target which is injected into the human body, then it is irradiated with thermal or epithermal neutrons. Nuclear reaction will occur between boron and neutrons, producing alpha particle and lithium-7. The dose is

Application of the MCNPX-McStas interface for shielding calculations and guide design at ESS [PDF]
Recently, an interface between the Monte Carlo code MCNPX and the neutron ray-tracing code MCNPX was developed[1]. Based on the expected neutronic performance and guide geometries relevant for the ESS, the combined MCNPX-McStas code is used to calculate ...

Comparative analysis of MCNPX and GEANT4 codes for fast-neutron radiation treatment planning
AbstractThe paper presents a comparative analysis of the MCNPX and GEANT4 simulation tools for the beam therapy fast neutron transport calculation problems. Groups of model experiments are described which compare the absorbed energy calculated values obtained on different types of phantoms and the rate of calculation for both simulation tools is ...
