Abstract:The present work compared the relative absorbed dose of some dosimetric materials, for energies of 250 kV and 6 MV, using PENELOPE and MNCPX codes. The composition of each material GD-301, TLD-100, MAGIC, and MAGAT were simulated and disposed of in a phantom filled with water following reference conditions recommended by the TRS-398 protocol. Percentage depth dose was used as a parameter of comparison. Since the obtained results with both codes were found a maximum difference of up to 2 % when compared the wat… Show more
