Dear all,
I want to simulate the irradiation of a target by a proton beam, and then, at a certain cooling time after the irradiation, I want to calculate the dose deposition in a dosemeter from the residual radiation coming from the activated target. The dosemeter is close to the target. I guess I can do this calculation in a single simulation, so in my geometry I have modelled both the target and the dosemeter. However the beam is broad and the dosemeter is partially inside the field and I don't want the dosemeter to be irradiated by the primary beam (and neither by secondary particles produced during proton irradiation). I want to find a solution as if the dosemeter was there only after the irradiation, so that it is only irradiated by the residual radiation from the target. The card that looks most appropriate to me is TIME-CUT but I didn't manage to make it work. But even if it worked I don't think it is the ideal solution because as far as I understood this card only acts on the scoring. So it would not prevent the presence of my dosemeter to alter the proton beam, especially if I want to place it for example in front of the irradiated face of the target. Or if the dosemeter gets activated by the proton beam, it will be included in the scoring. Then I tried with WW-FACTOR and WW-THRESHOLD in an attempt to simply set zero importances for protons and neutrons inside the dosemeter, but I couldn't manage neither. And again, even if I managed, this solution would not be appropriate if I want to place the dosemeter in front of the irradiated face. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance,
Adela
