Study on the dose enhancement of gold nanoparticles when exposed to clinical electron, proton, and alpha particle beams by means of Geant4

Background: Various factors effecting deposited energy and dose enhancement ratio (DER) in the simplified model of cell caused by the interaction of a cluster of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with electron beams were assessed, and the results were compared with other sources through Geant4 Monte Carlo s...
