Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, the use of heavy ion beams in cancer therapy have been developed worldwide. Materials and Methods: It requires accurate understanding of the complex processes of ion interaction with matter, as it is the calculation the relative dose & range of these ions in matter. In the present study we used FLUKA as a numerical Monte Carlo simulations code for simulating the interaction of Carbon Ions beams of potential medical interest with water target as rough models for soft tissue. Results: The depth dose deposition of Carbon ions beam with Energies of 135MeV/u and 195MeV/u in water were simulated and the results were compared with GEANT4 simulation code. Conclusion: The results shows good agreement between FLUKA and GEANT4 and the Experimental data.
