Optical simulation of monolithic scintillator detectors using GATE/GEANT4.
Much research is being conducted on position-sensitive scintillation detectors for medical imaging, particularly for emission tomography. Monte Carlo simulations play an essential role in many of these research activities. As the scintillation process, the transport of scintillation photons through the crystal(s), and the conversion of these photons into electronic signals each have a major inf...

متن کاملComparing water to DNA for simulation of Auger electron direct damage to DNA using Geant4
Typically water is used as an analog material for Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) in Monte Carlo simulations of biological radiation interactions. Prior to this work, it was unclear whether water is an appropriate stand-in for DNA when simulating direct radiation damage on the nano scale. The increased interest in targeted tumor therapy using Auger electrons has requires an understand of the radiob...
متن کاملAir shower simulation using geant4 and commodity parallel computing
The steeply falling end of the cosmic ray spectrum now extends up to ≈ 3 × 10 eV (see Ref. [1] for a recent survey), three orders of magnitude higher than the highest energy achieved by hadron colliders. Direct measurements using sophisticated equipment on satellites or high altitude balloons are limited in detector area and in exposure time. Ground-based detectors with large apertures make suc...
متن کاملMicrodosimetry study of a multicellular model with mono-energetic electrons using Geant4-DNA simulation toolkit
Introduction: The goal of any type of radiation therapy in the treatment of tumors, in addition to destroying cancer cells, is to minimizing radiation to nearby healthy cells and thus reducing side damages. For this purpose, targeted radiation therapy (TRT) is more effective in treating of single cells or small cluster of cells. The main factor in the success of this method is...
