Abstract

An ion transport code was developed for simulating ionization energy deposition by energetic ions in sensitive volumes of complex structures. The code was used to simulate recent microdosimetry measurements performed with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microdosimeters in Fast Neutron Therapy (FNT).
