摘要：

The depth-dose distribution of a Fe-56 ion beam has been studied in water, polyethylene, nextel, kevlar and aluminum media. The dose reduction versus areal depth is also calculated for Fe-56 ions in carbon, polyethylene and aluminum using the Monte Carlo simulation toolkit Geant4. This study presents the validation of physics models available in Geant4 by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data available in the literature. Simulations are performed using binary cascade (BIC), abrasion-ablation (AA) and quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) models; integrated into Geant4. Deviations from experimental results may be due to the selection of simple geometry. This paper also addresses the differences in the simulated results from various models. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
