Monte Carlo Simulation Of A Medical Linear Accelerator For Filtered And Fff Systems, Çağri Yazğan, Yi̇ği̇t Çeçen
Monte Carlo Simulation Of A Medical Linear Accelerator For Filtered And Fff Systems, Çağri Yazğan, Yi̇ği̇t Çeçen
Turkish Journal of Physics
In order to simulate radiation transport, various algorithms, codes, and programs have been developed. In this study Monte Carlo N-particle code is used to simulate a medical electron linear accelerator gantry for research purposes. Detailed geometry of the LINAC head and water phantom are modeled and simulated for calculations. Analyses are made for filtered and flattening filter-free (FFF) systems. Percent depth dose and dose profile measurements are calculated with Monte Carlo simulations and compared with experimental and theoretical values for quality assurance of the model. Flux, dose, and spectrum analyses are performed for filtered and FFF systems separately. In this …
Bound-Free Pair Production With A Correction Term In Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions, Melek Yilmaz Şengül
Bound-Free Pair Production With A Correction Term In Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions, Melek Yilmaz Şengül
Turkish Journal of Physics
In our previous work, we calculated bound-free electron-positron pair production cross section without a correction term. In this work, bound-free electron-positron pair production with a correction term is considered to calculate the cross section for peripheral relativistic heavy ion collisions. The Dirac wave functions have been used for the leptons and first order corrections are included. It is seen that the results for the production cross sections are considerably smaller than those of the previous calculations. We applied the same method for the calculations of the antihydrogen production cross sections as well.
