Monte Carlo simulation of electron beams from an accelerator head using PENELOPE.
The Monte Carlo code PENELOPE has been used to simulate electron beams from a Siemens Mevatron KDS linac with nominal energies of 6, 12 and 18 MeV. Owing to its accuracy, which stems from that of the underlying physical interaction models, PENELOPE is suitable for simulating problems of interest to the medical physics community. It includes a geometry package that allows the definition of compl...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of Nb Ka secondary fluorescence in EPMA: comparison of PENELOPE simulations with experimental results
Secondary fluorescence across phase boundaries is a difficult problem encountered in several electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) situations: diffusion couples; small phases enclosed in a larger phases; eutectic intergrowths; and thin films. In some cases, it is possible to construct nondiffused couples and to measure the amount of secondary fluorescence across the phase boundary, but in most ca...
متن کاملParallelization of the Penelope Monte Carlo Particle Transport Simulation Package
We have parallelized the PENELOPE Monte Carlo particle transport simulation package [1]. The motivation is to increase efficiency of Monte Carlo simulations for medical applications. Our parallelization is based on the standard MPI message passing interface. The parallel code is especially suitable for a distributed memory environment, and has been run on up to 256 processors on the Indiana Uni...
متن کاملPENELOPE, a code system for Monte Carlo simulation of electron and photon transport
The computer code system penelope (version 2003) performs Monte Carlo simulation of coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials for a wide energy range, from a few hundred eV to about 1 GeV. Photon transport is simulated by means of the standard, detailed simulation scheme. Electron and positron histories are generated on the basis of a mixed procedure, which combines detailed simu...
متن کاملPENEPMA: a Monte Carlo programme for the simulation of X-ray emission in EPMA
The Monte Carlo programme PENEPMA performs simulations of X-ray emission from samples bombarded with electron beams. It is both based on the general-purpose Monte Carlo simulation package PENELOPE, an elaborate system for the simulation of coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials, and on the geometry subroutine package PENGEOM, which tracks particles through complex material str...
