Abstract Stopping power predictions in radiation transport codes are based on the Bethe-Bloch formula and different corrections. For very heavy ions at relativistic energies available experimental data scarce therefore verification of stopping is only possible to a limited extent. In this work, full Bragg curve for 800 MeV/u 238 U polyethylene presented. The measurements were conducted area Cav...

Copper electrodeposition in submicron trenches involves phenomena that span many orders of magnitude in time and length scales. In the present work, two codes that simulate electrochemical phenomena on different time and length scales were externally linked. A Monte Carlo code simulated surface phenomena in order to resolve surface roughness evolution and trench in-fill. A 2-D finite difference...

monte carlo method is a very accurate method to optimize medical diagnostic radiology spectra and simulation of radiation transportation. using mcnp code, radiology and mammography attenuated x-rayspectraweresimulated.the ipem report number 78 was used as a reference to compare with the geant4 and mcnp simulations because of its popularity and wide availability. the results of geant4 in 40kev s...

This Note describes calculations of the shielding necessary to reduce the dose rate to less than 0.05 mrem/h when synchrotron radiations emitted by the LCLS electrons beam hit a worst type scattering target located in the hard X-ray line. The calculations were performed using the FLUKA Monte-Carlo code and as well as the STAC8 analytical code. The photon spectrum used as a source term correspon...

The REBUS-3 burnup code, used in the ANL RERTR Program, is a very general code that uses diffusion theory (DIF3D) to obtain the fluxes required for reactor burnup analyses. Diffusion theory works well for most reactors. However, to include the effects of exact geometry and strong absorbers that are difficult to model using diffusion theory, a Monte Carlo method is required. MCNP, “a general-pur...

in this paper, the pricing of a european call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a monte carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. the proposed approach, applied in monte carlo simulation, is based on the black-scholes equation which generally def...

There has been growing clinical evidence of the value targeted alpha therapy for treatment several cancers. The work slowed by lack availability key emitting isotopes, especially Ac-225. It can be produced photonuclear reaction, Ra-226(?,n)Ra-225. Ra-225 decays via beta-decay to Ac-225 with a half-life 14.9 days. This paper will provide technical description radium targets and target chamber th...

This study aims to perform multidirectional characterizations on nuclear shielding efficiencies some bismuth-based glasses. Accordingly, the γattenuation coefficients for xBi2O3-(75-x)B2O3–25Li2O (x = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70 mol%) were widely evaluated using simulations and theoretical methods. Linear attenuation coefficient (LAC) of glasses was obtained by Monte Carlo general-purpose simu...

Background: An effective method for management of large and bulky malignant tumors. This treatment modality is also known as Specially Fractionated Radiation Therapy (SFRT). In this treatment technique a grid block converted the open radiation field into a series of pencil beams. Dosimetric characteristics of an external beam grid radiation field have been investigated using experimental and Mo...
