Calculation of Photoneutrons from Varian Clinac Accelerators and Their Transmissions in Materials
Description:
Monte Carlo calculations of the giant-dipole-resonance photoneutrons (GRN) around the Varian Clinac 2100C/2300C medical accelerator heads (10-20 MV modes) were made using the coupled EGS4-MORSE code. The actual head materials and geometries were simulated in great detail using the Combinatorial Geometry facility of MORSE. The neutron production (i.e., sites and yields) was calculated with EGS4 and, then, the neutron transport in the accelerator head was done with MORSE. Both the evaporation and…
