Monte Carlo codes are among the most used tools today for calculations and simulations related to medical physics [1] and particularly for studies of low dose medical applications.
In this work, we have undertaken on the development of an analytical model with the aim of calculating the deposit dose produced by ionizing radiation inside a medical phantom (filled with light water). The CNSTN...

There is a need to test difficult to access, thick section steel components for weld defects and in-service corrosion that may lead to pressure vessel/component failure in the nuclear power generation industry that requires the application of high sensitivity ultrasonic testing (UT) techniques.
This project conducts research into the construction and...
During the last few years, Monte Carlo simulation is considered to be the gold standard method for radiation dose calculations. Thanks to the accuracy and the flexibility that it supplies, MC method is the most used for dose prediction in external radiation therapy. This work aims to set up a full geometrical model of an 18 MV Varian Clinac 2100C medical linear accelerator in photon mode,...
We present the energy dependence of the cross section for the inelastic interaction of protons and helium nuclei with the tungsten in the energy range from a few hundred MeV to a hundred GeV using the data of the PAMELA space experiment. It was intended for the precision measurements of the cosmic ray fluxes of different nature and include a set of detectors for the reliable determination of...
In the plasma of fusion reactors, tritium and deuterium react to create helium and a 14.1MeV neutron, which escapes the magnetic containment. For defining and verifying requirements and boundary conditions for fusion reactor systems, the neutron transport through reactor components and the interactions of neutrons with the encountered materials has to be assessed. To this end, 3D Monte Carlo...
