[Gate-users] GATE neutron dose

[David Boersma]

Hi!


I don't really consider myself a geant4 expert, but from what I have read in the geant4 physics list documentation I would think that the "Shielding" physics list was more or less designed for topics like what Mohamad is trying to investigate.

Hello,

First thing, please always use GATE mailing list (and please put a subject!!)!
Second thing, we had the Gate technical meeting last week and we were discussing neutron dose for proton/ion therapy in some presentations.
Simulating neutron dose is for sure feasible, but I would recommend to include the HP (high precision neutron) option (e.g. BIC_HP_EMZ).
However, I am not an expert in the neutron dose models and it would be nice to hear from Geant4 expert about which models and physics list they would recommend for such applications?

Best,
Loïc

Hi Dr. Grevillot
I have question about simulation with GATE framework. I am working on shield of treatment room in proton therapy, And in detail, on neutron dose rate in the back of the each wall. Is it possible to calculate and simulatethe dose rate with GATE or not?
Thanks in advance.
Mohammad javad
