NIST Virtual Gamma Spectrometry System: A Comparison of Counting Efficiencies from Measurements and Monte Carlo Simulations
Anthropometric and anthropomorphic phantoms have been used extensively for characterizing in-vivo measurement systems that determines internally deposited radionuclides. The accuracy in activity determination relies critically on system design, calibration routine, and reproducbility in material composition, geometry configuration, and physical dimensions of the phantoms respect to the actual o...
متن کاملField transformation and Monte Carlo simulations
A new method to compute observables at many values of the parameters λ for a model with lattice action S(φ,λ) is described. After fixing a reference set λr of parameters, a single simulation is carried out by using a “reference action” S(φr, λr) to generate configurations of the field φr. Then a suitable analytic transformation is performed from the configurations of φr to the ones correspondin...
متن کاملNon-Boltzmann Ensembles and Monte Carlo Simulations
Boltzmann sampling based on Metropolis algorithm has been extensively used for simulating a canonical ensemble and for calculating macroscopic properties of a closed system at desired temperatures. An estimate of a mechanical property, like energy, of an equilibrium system, is made by averaging over a large number microstates generated by Boltzmann Monte Carlo methods. This is possible because ...
متن کاملThe Response Function of Isocart (ortec) Gamma-ray Spectrometry System Using Monte Carlo Simulations
The routine operation and maintenance of nuclear facilities generate quantities of radioactive material in many different matrices that are packed in many different sized containers. The waste is often packaged in large containers, such as 220 l drums, because process operators find drums more economical to handle than small containers. Based on regulations, the radioactivity and the radionucli...
متن کاملImplementation of Monte Carlo Simulations for the Gamma Knife System
Currently the Gamma Knife system is accompanied with a treatment planning system, Leksell GammaPlan (LGP) which is a standard, computer-based treatment planning system for Gamma Knife radiosurgery. In LGP, the dose calculation algorithm does not consider the scatter dose contributions and the inhomogeneity effect due to the skull and air cavities. To improve the dose calculation accuracy, Monte...
