Assessment of Monte Carlo Geant4 capabilities in prediction of photon beam dose distribution in a heterogeneous medium

The aim of this study is the assessment of the Geant4 capabilities in accurately modeling of dose distribution in a heterogeneous water phantom. In this purpose, a Geant4 user code has been designed and developed to enable an accurate modeling of cross beam profiles in a heterogeneous water phantom...
