Secondary Electrons in Gold Nanoparticle Clusters and Their Role in Therapeutic Ratio: The Outcome of a Monte Carlo Simulation Study

Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) are used in proton therapy radio-sensitizers to help increase the dose of radiation to targeted tumors by the emission of secondary electrons. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the link between secondary electron yields produced from a nanoshell of GNPs and dose absorpt...
