In kV x-ray dosimetry, experimental spectral data can be used to benchmark Monte Carlo simulations and, if the experimental is suitably constrained, test the underlying interaction cross-section models used. This project aims to acquire accurate kV x-ray spec...
This study investigates the magnitude of systematic uncertainties that arise from ignoring quantum effects in semi-classical Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of low-energy electron transport through biological systems. We focus on microdosimetric quantities often...
This work applies the TG-51 kQ formalism to energies below Co-60 in determining beam quality conversion factors (kQ) for thimble ionization chambers in HDR brachytherapy. The sensitivity of calculations to source-to-detector distance and phantom size is inves...
