Objective. The purpose of this study is to estimate the energy and angular distribution of
secondary neutrons inside a phantom in hadron therapy, which will support decisions on …

Dose equivalent limits for single organs are recommended by the ICRP (International
Commission for the Radiological Protection publication 103). These limits do not lend …

Living systems have evolved in the presence of naturally occurring ionising radiation.
REPAIR is a research project investigating the biological effects of sub-natural background …

A comparison of Geant4 physics lists is conducted in the calculation of the total absorbed
dose, boron dose, and non-boron dose in phantom, and the total depth-dose, boron depth …

Handling of radioactive material by operators can lead to contamination at the surface of the
skin in case of an accident. The quantification of the dose received by the skin due to a …

Purpose Scanning proton therapy has dosimetric advantage over passive treatment, but has
a large penumbra in low-energy region. This study investigates the penumbra reduction …

The present work aims to assess in a first phase, different parameters influencing the
creation and distribution of photoneutrons around Elekta Synergy medical linear accelerator …

Abstract In this chapter, Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT), a binary type of
radiotherapy is presented. The technique is envisioned as a two-step procedure involving …

The radiation environment aboard spacecraft is a complex mixture of neutrons, photons,
protons, heavy ions and other particles. A special type of superheated droplet detectors …

An individual albedo neutron dosimeter is simulated with the Geant4 toolkit. The simulation
results are compared with results from an international intercomparison for Monte Carlo …
