AbstractAbstract
[en] We have used the Monte Carlo electron transport computer code described at the last Symposium to study in detail the slowing down of electrons and all of their secondaries with initial energies up to 1.5 MeV in liquid water. In the present paper, the probability distributions for the number of ionizations and for the energy deposited in cubical volume elements from electron tracks in the water are analyzed. Both the electron energies and the sizes of the cubical cells are varied. Results are shown for electron energies between 100 eV and 10 keV and for cell sizes between 40 A and 1500 A. Good general agreement is found with results presented by Paretzke at the last Symposium. The code can be used to obtain other basic distributions of importance in microdosimetry. As an example, microdosimetric single-event spectra for 500-eV electrons are computed in cubes with edges that range in size from 40 A to 200 A. The importance of correlations is shown explicity in a comparison of secondary electron produced by 60Co and 50-keV photons
