eMC Global MC input

Local geometries are spheres of various sizes, material compositions and

incident electron energies:

o

5 materials: air, lung, water, lucite(PMMA) and solid bone

o

5 sphere radii: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0 mm

o

30 incident energy values, between 0.2 and 25 MeV

200 000 electrons per sphere were simulated using Monte Carlo with

EGSnrc Code System

Results from simulations were collected to probability distribution

functions (PDFs):

o

Exit point and direction of primary electron

o

Energy of primary electron

o

Secondary particles (e- & γ) and their energies
