On the accuracy of Monte Carlo based beam dynamics models for the degrader in proton therapy facilities

open access: yes, 2018
In a cyclotron-based proton therapy facility, the energy changes are performed by means of a degrader of variable thickness. The interaction of the proton beam with the degrader creates energy tails and increases the beam emittance.

Fuel burnup analysis for Thai research reactor by using MCNPX computer code [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2017
This paper presents the fuel burnup analysis of the Thai research reactor (TRR-1/M1), TRIGA Mark-III, operated by Thailand Institute of Nuclear Technology (TINT) in Bangkok, Thailand. The modelling software used in this analysis is MCNPX (MCNP eXtended) version 2.6.0, a Fortran90 Monte Carlo radiation transport computer code.

Characterization of the light and flexible nonlead aprons as an alternative to Pb–PVC

open access: yesJournal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 26, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Background Radiation shielding is crucial for protecting healthcare professionals from scatter radiation during x‐ray procedures. Conventional lead aprons, although effective, are limited by their high weight, low flexibility, and potential toxicity.

Simulation of surface flux received through breast tumor radiation therapy with MCNPX code

open access: yesInternational Journal of Biophotonics and Biomedical Engineering, 2023
In radiation therapy, investigating of the effects of the surface flux reaching on the tissue is important in planning the treatment and this requires a precise evaluation of the absorbed dose distribution throughout the irradiated tissue. Therefore, by Monte Carlo simulation with MCNP code, a point source with the size of E with a spectrum width of 0 ...

Microdosimetry calculations in situ for clinically relevant photon sources and their correlation with the early DNA damage response

open access: yesMedical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 7, July 2025.
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.
