Monte Carlo Simulations of Neutron Ambient Dose Equivalent in a Novel Proton Therapy Facility Design
Purpose: The neutron shielding properties of the concrete structures of a proposed proton therapy facility were evaluated with help of the Monte Carlo technique. The planned facility’s design omits the typical maze-structured entrances to the treatment rooms to facilitate more efficient access and,...
