heal.abstractA new Monte-Carlo code for event-by-event simulation of the transport of energetic non-relativistic protons (approximately 0.5-10 MeV) and all their secondary electrons (down to 1 Ry) in both the vapour and liquid phases of water is presented. A unified particle-water inelastic model for both phases of water has been developed based on experimental optical data and elements of the Bethe theory. The model applies to both electrons and heavy-charged particles and is particularly suitable for extension to other media of biological relevance (organic polymers, DNA, etc.). Condensed-phase effects are included in the liquid version (MC4L) by means of the dielectric functions which, essentially, substitute the oscillator-strength used in the vapour version (MC4V). The results in the form of radial dose distributions and spatially restricted linear energy transfer are presented and compared with the literature.en
