Monte Carlo Code Comparisons for the Calculation of Absorbed Dose per Unit Fluence in Slab Phantoms for Electron Energies from 50 keV to 10 MeV

G.F. Gualdrini and F. Padoani

The MCNPE-Bo and MCNP4 Monte Carlo electron-photon codes were used to calculate the dose equivalent per unit fluence at various depths in tissue-equivalent slab phantoms for broad parallel beams of monoenergetic electrons with energies from 50 keV to 10 MeV. The study was carried out in the framework of the activities of a ICRP/ICRU Joint Task Group with the support of EURADOS WG4 (Numerical Dosimetry). Some preliminary results and comparisons as well as a general discussion on the performances of the codes are presented, demonstrating quite a satisfactory agreement among the results obtained using the two codes and those of other authors.
