Abstract
To estimate Cerenkov radiation generated in various dielectric materials, in this study, we calculated therapeutic photon beams induced electron fluxes in a CaF2, PMMA, SiO2 and Al2O3 by using the Monte Carlo N-particle Extended transport code (MCNPX). Also, we clarified the relationship between electron fluxes produced in various dielectrics and energy depositions in water by irradiation of therapeutic photon beams. The electron fluxes and the energy depositions were calculated as a function of water depth.
