MONTE CARLO CALCULATIONS OF THE DOSE INDUCED BY CHARGED PIONS AND COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENT

摘要

A calculational method that utilizes Monte Carlo techniques in conjunction with the intranuclear-cascade-evaporation model for treating nuclear interactions in applied to study the dose induced in matter by charged pions. To test the validity of the calculational method for pion dose calculations, calculated results are compared with experimental data for the abaerbed dose induced in water phantoms by a п+ beam of mean momentum 175 MeV/c and by п- and п+ beams of mean momentum 150 MeV/c.
