Abstract:AbstractTo validate the GATE Monte Carlo simulation code and to investigate the lateral scattering of proton pencil beams in the major body tissue elements in the therapeutic energy range. In this study, GATE Monte Carlo simulation code was used to compute absorbed dose and fluence of protons in a water cubic phantom for the clinical energy range. To apply the suitable physics model for simulation, different physics lists were investigated. The present research … Show more
