GamBet

GamBet is an innovative approach to 2D/3D Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport in matter. The unitized code suite handles the full range of electron/photon/positron interactions with high accuracy. GamBet can be used as a stand-alone tool or as an extension to the Trak or OmniTrak charged-particle-beam codes. Extensive applications include optimization of X-ray targets, electron-beam heating, radiographic imaging, positron physics, radiation therapy research and shielding design. The codes run on personal computers under Linux and all 32-bit versions of Windows.

Special features
The unique cabilities of GamBet offer several advantages compared to other available programs:

• Material volumes are defined by conformal meshes for high-accuracy representation of slanted or curved boundaries
• Sophisticated graphical pre- and post-processors for mesh generation and the analysis of dose and particle orbits
• Material interactions are handled by the state-of-the-art Penelope package
• Effects of 2D or 3D electric and/or magnetic field numerical solutions can be included
• Detailed instruction manuals and ready-to-run examples
• Optimized search routines for short run times
• Dose quantities are recorded on the conformal mesh so that each element acts as a subzone in the post-processing stage
• Accepts direct input of electron or positron beams from the Trak and OmniTrak codes
• Interactive analysis and plotting of input/output particle distributions
• Advanced variance-reduction techniques including interaction forcing and splitting/reduction of particles
• Particle escape files can be used as input for subsequent runs or ported to Trak or OmniTrak
• Presentation quality 2D/3D plots with built-in hardcopy support for all installed Windows printers
