Detection of neutrons, at high total efficiency, with greater resolution in kinetic energy, time
and/or real-space position, is fundamental to the advance of subfields within nuclear …

Natural gadolinium displays a number of remarkable physical properties: it is a rare earth
element, composed of seven stable or quasi-stable isotopes, with an exceptionally high …

This work compares GEANT4 with MCNPX in the characterization of a boron-lined neutron
detector. The neutron energy ranges simulated in this work (0.025 eV to 20 MeV) are the …

Photoneutrons produced during radiation therapy with high energy photons is the main
source of unwanted out-of-field received doses of patients. To analyze the neutron dose …

Proton therapy as a promising candidate in cancer treatment has attracted much attentions
and many studies have been performed to investigate the new methods to enhance its …

Abstract Background Gadolinium (Gd) neutron capture therapy (GdNCT) is based on a
neutron capture reaction (NCR) that involves emission of both short and long range …

Linear accelerators (LINACs) are widely applied in radiotherapy for their versatility and
flexibility. Monte Carlo simulations were made to find the neutron and photon spectra at the …

The purpose of the present study is to introduce a compression algorithm for the CT
(computed tomography) data used in Monte Carlo simulations. Performing simulations on …

A comparison between neutron physics lists given by GEANT4, is made in the calculation of
the ambient dose equivalent, and ambient absorbed dose, per fluence conversion …

The purpose of this study is to verify the feasibility of applying GEANT4 (version 10.01) in
neutron dose calculations in radiation protection by comparing the calculation results with …
