[ 1 ] - A performance study of the conceptual implementation of the GEM-tracking detector in Monte Carlo simulation
PANDA experiment (antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt) is one of the key projects of the future FAIR facilities to investigate the reactions of antiprotons with protons and nuclear targets. experiment is designed to serve as a completely extraordinary physical potential due to exploiting the availability of cold and high-intensity beams of antiprotons. One of the significant parts of the ...
[ 2 ] - 10B Concentration, Phantom Size and Tumor Location Dependent Dose Enhancement and Neutron Spectra in Boron Neutron Capture Therapy
Background: The amount of average dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B may vary due to various factors in boron neutron capture therapy.Objective: This study aims to evaluate dose enhancement in tumor loaded with 10B under influence of various factors and investigate the dependence of this dose enhancement on neutron spectra changes.Material and Methods: In this simulation stud...
[ 3 ] - A Monte Carlo Study on the Effect of Various Neutron Capturers on Dose Distribution in Brachytherapy with 252Cf Source
Background: In neutron interaction with matter and reduction of neutron energy due to multiple scatterings to the thermal energy range, increasing the probability of thermal neutron capture by neutron captures makes dose enhancement in the tumors loaded with these materials. Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate dose distribution in the presence of 10B, 157Gd and 33S neutron...
[ 4 ] - Investigations of parameters affecting the photon energy spectra of an 18 MV Varian 2100C/D linear accelerator
Radiotherapy using linear accelerators is known as an effective modality for cancer treatment. The photons energy of treatment beams significantly affect the dose distribution. Therefore, it is important to accurately evaluate the photon energy spectra. In this study, MCNPX Monte Carlo code (version 2.6.0) was used to simulate an 18 MV photon beam of a Varian 2100C/D linear accelerator. By matc...
