Comparison of penh, fluka, and Geant4/topas for absorbed dose calculations in air cavities representing ionization chambers in high‐energy photon and proton beams

PURPOSE: The purpose of this work is to analyze whether the Monte Carlo codes penh, fluka, and geant4/topas are suitable to calculate absorbed doses and [Formula: see text] ratios in therapeutic high‐energy photon and proton beams. METHODS: We used penh, fluka, geant4/topas, and egsnrc to calculate...
