Estimation of Cerenkov Radiation Generated in Various Dielectrics Using MCNPX Simulation

Abstract:

To estimate Cerenkov radiation generated in various dielectric materials, in this study, we calculated therapeutic photon beams induced electron fluxes in a CaF₂, PMMA, SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ by using the Monte Carlo N-particle Extended transport code (MCNPX). Also, we clarified the relationship between electron fluxes produced in various dielectrics and energy depositions in water by irradiation of therapeutic photon beams. The electron fluxes and the energy depositions were calculated as a function of water depth.
