A Monte Carlo code for positive ion track simulation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An ion interaction model has been described for simulating positive ion tracks in a variety of media with the capability of interfacing with several secondary electron transport codes. Data are presented for single-and double-differential cross-sections, binding energies, probability density distribution for delocalisation parameters for conductors and tissue, branching ratios and ionisation efficiencies for water vapour and liquid water.

Introduction: The main advantage of using ion beams over photons in radiotherapy is due to their inverse depth-dose profiles, allowing higher doses to tumors, while better sparing normal tissues. When calculating dose distributions with ion beams, one crucial point is the uncertainty of the Bragg-peak range. Recently great effort is devoted to enhance the accuracy of the comput...

Background: Radiotherapy is an important technique of cancer treatment using ionizing radiation. The determination of total dose in reference conditions is an important contribution to uncertainty that could achieve 2%. The source of this uncertainty comes from cavity theory that relates the in-air cavity dose and the dose to water. These correction factors are determined from Monte Carlo calcu...
