Monte Carlo simulation of depth-dose distributions in TLD-100 under 90Sr-90Y irradiation.
In this work the depth-dose distribution in TLD-100 dosimeters under beta irradiation from a 90Sr-90Y source was investigated using the Monte Carlo method. Comparisons between the simulated data and experimental results showed that the depth-dose distribution is strongly affected by the different components of both the source and dosimeter holders due to the large number of electron scattering events.
