Monte Carlo calculation of the radiation field at aircraft altitudes.
Energy spectra of secondary cosmic rays are calculated for aircraft altitudes and a discrete set of solar modulation parameters and rigidity cut-off values covering all possible conditions. The calculations are based on the Monte Carlo code FLUKA and on the most recent information on the interstellar cosmic ray flux including a detailed model of solar modulation. Results are compared to a large...
متن کاملMonte Carlo calculation of shielding properties of newly developed heavy concretes for megavoltage photon beam spectra used in radiation therapy
Introduction: Globally, the need for radiotherapy as a part of cancer management increases every year. Thus, the shielding for megavoltage radiotherapy rooms is of great importance. Materials and Methods: In the present study, 14 types of developed high-density concrete with densities ranging from 2.45 to 5.11 were simulated by using Monte Carlo method. The linear attenuation coefficient and t...
متن کاملEffect of the radiation field of view and angle in unconventional angiography on patient doses: a Monte Carlo simulation study using a voxelized phantom
Introduction: We aimed to investigate the effect of variation of beam angle and field of view (FOV) on organs’ and effective doses for patients undergoing interventional cardiology examinations by using Monte Carlo simulations and ICRP110 phantom. Materials and Methods: Simulations were done for energies obtained from experimental measurements on the left...
متن کاملMonte Carlo characterization of photoneutrons in the radiation therapy with high energy photons: a Comparison between simplified and full Monte Carlo models
Background: The characteristics of secondary neutrons in a high energy radiation therapy room were studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo (MC) code. Materials and Methods: Two MC models including a model with full description of head components and a simplified model used in previous studies were implemented for MC simulations. Results: Results showed 4-53% difference between full and wit...
متن کاملDirect Lighting Calculation by Monte Carlo Integration
The details of doing a Monte Carlo direct lighting calculation are presented. For direct lighting from multiple luminaires, a method of sending one shadow ray per viewing ray is presented, and it is argued that this is preferable for scenes with many luminaires. Some issues of the design of probability densities on unions of luminaire surfaces are discussed.
