Description
Based on the modified Synder geometry and the material data given by ICRU-46, the authors have calculated, using Monte Carlo method, the depth dose curves of the head phantom of BNCT. The calculation is performed using individual monoenergetic and monodirectional beams of 0.0253 eV, 1 keV, 2 keV, 10 keV, 100 keV and 1 meV neutrons, and 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 and 10 MeV photons. And a generic epithermal neutron beam with 1% fast neutron (10 keV-2 MeV) contamination and 10% thermal neutron (1 meV-0.5 eV) contamination is also employed. The results show an agreement accordance with the relative reference, which verify our treatment programming software of BNCT
