Abstract
A modified version of MCNP5 has been developed to treat continuous-energy proton transport. This work is summarised in companion papers by Hughes et al. and Bull et al. (in these proceedings). An intrinsic part of this development effort has involved testing, verification and validation of a capability for simulating proton radiographs. This paper presents the results of calculations simulating various different test objects and the effects of alternative physics models. The significant physics processes include elastic scattering, multiple coulomb scattering, collisional energy-loss and straggling, magnetic fields and attenuation owing to nuclear interactions. Comparisons with experimental data are presented.
