Analysis of Environmental Gamma-Ray Intensity Increase Due to Precipitation Using EGS4 Monte Carlo Simulation Code
The EGS4 (Electron Gamma Shower, Version 4) Monte Carlo simulation code is used to calculate the conversion factors of the radon daughter quantity accumulated on the ground surface to the environmental gamma radiation dose rate with considering the actual geographical conditions. When the precipitation rate is low, the time variation of the environmental gamma radiation dose rate estimated from...
متن کاملMagnetic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) exploits Hamiltonian dynamics to construct efficient proposals for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). In this paper, we present a generalization of HMC which exploits non-canonical Hamiltonian dynamics. We refer to this algorithm as magnetic HMC, since in 3 dimensions a subset of the dynamics map onto the mechanics of a charged particle coupled to a magnetic field. W...
متن کاملApplication of unfolding technique to HPGe detector using response functions calculated with the EGS4 Monte Carlo code.
The EGS4 Monte Carlo simulation technique was used to obtain the energy spectra of photons arriving at a detector from the pulse height distributions measured by the same detector. First, the measured pulse height distribution for incident photons from several radiation sources such as 60Co, 137Cs, 152Eu and 207Bi with a collimator are compared with those calculated using the EGS4 code to inves...
متن کاملThe CCFM Monte Carlo generator Cascade
Cascade is a full hadron level Monte Carlo event generator for ep, γp and pp̄ processes, which uses the CCFM evolution equation for the initial state cascade in a backward evolution approach supplemented with off shell matrix elements for the hard scattering. A detailed program description is given, with emphasis on parameters the user wants to change and common block variables which completely ...
متن کاملStudy of scattered photons from the collimator system of Leksell Gamma Knife using the EGS4 Monte Carlo code.
In the algorithm of Leksell GAMMAPLAN (the treatment planning software of Leksell Gamma Knife), scattered photons from the collimator system are presumed to have negligible effects on the Gamma Knife dosimetry. In this study, we used the EGS4 Monte Carlo (MC) technique to study the scattered photons coming out of the single beam channel of Leksell Gamma Knife. The PRESTA (Parameter Reduced Elec...
