Résumé

Several Monte Carlo transport codes are available for medical physics users. To ensure confidence in the accuracy of the codes, they must be continually cross-validated. This study provides comparisons between MC Monte Carlo simulations were repeated with 2 wrapper codes: TOPAS (based on Geant4) and MC Both codes gave very similar results with monoenergetic beams incident on a water phantom. Systematic differences were observed between MC Differences between TOPAS and MC
