Comparison of Geant4 multiple Coulomb scattering models with theory for radiotherapy protons
Anastasia Makarova, Bernard Gottschalk, Wolfgang Sauerwein
Usually, Monte Carlo models are validated against experimental data. However, models of multiple Coulomb scattering (MCS) in the Gaussian approximation are exceptional in that we h…

Comprehensive proton dose algorithm using pencil beam redefinition and recursive dynamic splitting
Bernard Gottschalk
We compute, from first principles, the absolute dose or fluence distribution per incident proton charge in a known heterogeneous terrain exposed to known proton beams. The algorith…
