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

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...
