(Elsevier, 2024-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyPart of the radiation protection in Spain and Portugal is focused on the protection of workers, public and environment due to the influence of nuclear facilities present in their territory (Spanish case) or nearby. Radiation ... -
Dose assesment with fast Monte Carlo codes in interventional radiology
(2023-10-11)
Article
Open AccessThis study presents the performance of two fast Monte Carlo codes, PENELOPE/penEasyIR and MCGPU-IR in order to assess operator doses in interventional radiology. In particular, it aims to validate the calculations when ... -
A benchmark for Monte Carlo simulations in gamma-ray spectrometry part II: true coincidence summing correction factors
(Elsevier, 2024-02-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe goal of this study is to provide a benchmark for the use of Monte Carlo simulation when applied to coincidence summing corrections. The examples are based on simple geometries: two types of germanium detectors and four ... -
