Benchmarking GEANT4 nuclear models for carbon-therapy at 95 MeV/A
In carbon-therapy, the interaction of the incoming beam with human tissues may lead to the production of a large amount of nuclear fragments and secondary light particles. An accurate estimation of the biological dose deposited into the tumor and the surrounding healthy tissues thus requires sophisticated simulation tools based on nuclear reaction models. The validity of such models requires in...
متن کاملProton and Carbon Linacs for Hadron Therapy
Beams of 200 MeV protons and 400 MeV/u fully stripped carbon ions are used for the treatment of solid tumours seated at a maximum depth of 27 cm. More than 100’000 patients have been treated with proton beams and more than 10’000 with carbon ions. Very low proton currents of the order of 1 nA are enough to deliver the typical dose of 2 Gy/l in one minute. In the case of carbon ions the currents...

متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH 3 November 1999 GEANT4 SIMULATION OF ENERGY LOSSES OF IONS
The algorithm for the simulation of energy losses of low energy ions is described. The details of its implementation in GEANT4 are discussed. The comparison of the simulation results with the experimental data is presented. 1 Introduction GEANT4[1] is a toolkit for Monte Carlo particle transport simulation for a wide range of applications, based on the Object Oriented technology. The GEANT4 mod...
متن کاملSecondary Particles Produced by Hadron Therapy
Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...
