Getting Started with EGSnrcR. Townson, F. Tessier, E. Mainegra, B. WaltersIonizing Radiation StandardsNational Research Council of Canada, OttawaPrinted: April 15, 2021 AbstractThis manual is a quick start guide to help new users get familiar with EGSnrc . A numberof complete tutorials are presented along with general guidance intended both for new usersand for those looking to update their EGSnrc skills. It is suggested that the reader followsthe document from top to bottom, as concepts are introduced gradually and through appliedexamples. The expected outcome is to provide the reader with some practical skills, alongwith a broader understanding of the capabilities of EGSnrc and the included tools. However,the information provided here is not complete: it will be necessary to refer to the relevantmanuals for full technical What is EGSnrc ?
EGSnrc is a software toolkit used to perform Monte Carlo simulation of ionizing radiation transport through matter. It models the propagation of photons, electrons and positrons with kinetic energies between 1 keV and 10 GeV, in homogeneous materials. EGSnrc is an extended and improved version of the Electron Gamma Shower (EGS) software package
