The Impact ionization rate is highly anisotropic at low electron energy, while it becomes isotropic at higher energy range in which impact ionization events frequently accur. In this study, full energy band structure obtained by pseudopotential method and Fermi's golden rule is used to calculate impact ionization rate. The calculated impact ionization rate is well fitted to a modified Keldysh formular at 300K and 77K. Full band Monte Carlo simulator is made to investigate the validity of the GaAs impact ionization coefficients at 300K and 77K. Impart ionization process is isotropic under the condition of steady state since anisotrophy appears during very short time at look. Impart ionization coefficients is nearly constant and is anisotropic in electric field applied along the <110> direction at 77K.

In this study, the potential of a newly developed simulation toolkit, GATE for the simulation of electronic portal imaging devices (EPID) in radiation therapy was evaluated by characterizing the performance of the metal plate/phosphor screen detector for EPID. We compared the performances of the GATE simulator against MCNP4B code and experimental data obtained with the EPID system in order to validate its use for radiation therapy.

설마천 및 청미천 시험유역에서 측정된 증발산량은 강수량 대비 약 20%이상으로 유출해석에 있어 큰 부분을 차지하고 있다. 시험유역 이외의 유역에서는 증발산 측정자료 확보가 어려워 이와 관련된 연구는 측정자료의 확보가 가능한 지역 혹은 기후변화자료를 이용한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 특히, 전국을 대상으로 하는 장기유출해석에 있어 유출량 자료를 활용하여 증발산량까지 추정하는 것에는 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 대안으로 하천의 유출량과 WHAT모형을 이용하여 계산된 기저유출량을 동시에 고려하여 증발산량의 예측능력을 향상할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 유출해석모형으로는 전국유역조사에서 활용되고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 증발산량 계산을 위하여 다양한 기법의 활용이 가능한 K-BASIN(PRMS)모형을 활용하였고, 매개변수 최적화를 위하여 하천유량뿐만아니라 기저유출량을 대상으로 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 용담댐 시험유역에 적용하여 각 샘플의 하천유량과 기저유출량에 대하여 NSE 및 Pbias를 검토한 결과, 유출량에 대하여 NSE가 최고(0.9이상)인 샘플의 경우 관측된 증발산량과 상당한 차이를 보였으나, 유출량과 기저유출에 대하여 NSE가 최고(유출에 대한 NSE가 0.8, 기저유출량에 대한 NSE가 0.6)인 샘플의 경우에는 관측된 증발산량의 패턴을 유사하게 모의하였다. 추후 본 연구에서 제시된 기법의 타수계 적용 등의 추가적 검증을 통하여 장기유출해석시 증발산량의 예측정확도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Using the Kirkwood's method, the free energy of a binary lattice solution consisting of two identical interpenetrating sublattices, such as a simple cubic lattice or a body-centered cubic lattice, was calculated up to the tenth order of the reciprocal of absolute temperature. Using this, liquid-liquid coexistence curves and critical solution temperatures for the binary lattice solutions were calculated to quantitatively investigate the effect of non-random mixing of molecules. And it was shown that the coexistence curve of the simple cubic lattice solution was in good agreement with the Monte-Carlo computer simulation result.

A test is made for a method to determine reliable bias in the criticality safety analysis of spent fuel storage pool with turnup credit between the reference and rack criticality calculation methods. The spent fuel pool of Kori Unit 1 is conceptually redesigned to the most compact rack with turnup credit, and its multiplication factors are calculated depending on fuel enrichment and burnup, by the Monte Carlo code KENO-IV as a reference and by a two-dimensional collision probability code FATAC as a practical method. Then, the computed values with the help of the above two computer codes are compared to evaluate the bias and its trend in terms of multiplication factor on fuel enrichment and turnup. The result indicates that the bias can be determined with reliability basis but without any disadvantage in criticality safety margin compared with the conventional method.

게데형 분자드래그펌프의 배기특성을 강구(hard sphere)분자모델과 NTC(No Time Counter)충돌 scheme을 이용한 직접모사 법의 하나인 DSMC(direct simulation Monte Carlo)방법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 해석에 사용된 모델은 높이가 일정하고, 길이가 높이의 1~3000배 사이인 이차원 채널이다. 자유분자영역으로부터 연속체 영역까지의 영역에서 최대압축비와 배기속도를 계산하였다. 계산결과 기존의 최대압축비 이론 결과는 채널내의 압력변화가 클 때는 큰 오차를 유발하는 것을 알 수 있었고, 유동방향의 기체분자의 통과확률은 채널 길이와 출구압력에 관계없이 거의 일정한 값을 갖는다는 것을 발견하였다.

양전자방출단층촬영 영상획득시 수반되는 산란분획의 분포를 Monte-Carlo simulation을 이용하며 평가하고자 하였다. 모사계산에서는 GE Advance PET 스캐너와 NEMA 규정에 의한 팬텀을 모델화하였고 선상선원을 대상으로 평균 산란분획 10.2%와 산란방사선의 축방향 분포를 구하였다. 방사선원 F-18을 사용한 실제 측정의 평균산란 분획 9.16%와 산란방사선 분포를 비교하여 유사한 결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 Information-Based Complexity분양의 문제들 중 그 complexity를 계산하기 매우 어렵거나 불가능한 문제들의 오차를 분석하기 위해서 k-fold Wiener process를 생성하는 algorithm에 대해 연구하고, 이 algorithm을 실제 프로그램 하였다. 또한 이 프로그램이 생성한 함수가 실제 k-fold Wiener process와 아주 근사하다는 것을 Kolmogorov-Smirnov test를 통하여 보여준다. 이 프로그램을 이용하면 여러 문제들의 average case error를 Monte-Carlo Simulation 과 같은 방법을 사용하여 실험적으로 계산할 수 있다.

Purpose: To compare the dose distributions between three-dimensional (3D) and four-dimensional (4D) radiation treatment plans calculated by Ray-tracing or the Monte Carlo algorithm, and to highlight the difference of dose calculation between two algorithms for lung heterogeneity correction in lung cancers. Materials and Methods: Prospectively gated 4D CTs in seven patients were obtained with a Brilliance CT64-Channel scanner along with a respiratory bellows gating device. After 4D treatment planning with the Ray Tracing algorithm in Multiplan 3.5.1, a CyberKnife stereotactic radiotherapy planning system, 3D Ray Tracing, 3D and 4D Monte Carlo dose calculations were performed under the same beam conditions (same number, directions, monitor units of beams). The 3D plan was performed in a primary CT image setting corresponding to middle phase expiration (50%). Relative dose coverage, D95 of gross tumor volume and planning target volume, maximum doses of tumor, and the spinal cord were compared for each plan, taking into consideration the tumor location. Results: According to the Monte Carlo calculations, mean tumor volume coverage of the 4D plans was 4.4% higher than the 3D plans when tumors were located in the lower lobes of the lung, but were 4.6% lower when tumors were located in the upper lobes of the lung. Similarly, the D95 of 4D plans was 4.8% higher than 3D plans when tumors were located in the lower lobes of lung, but was 1.7% lower when tumors were located in the upper lobes of lung. This tendency was also observed at the maximum dose of the spinal cord. Lastly, a 30% reduction in the PTV volume coverage was observed for the Monte Carlo calculation compared with the Ray-tracing calculation. Conclusion: 3D and 4D robotic radiotherapy treatment plans for lung cancers were compared according to a dosimetric viewpoint for a tumor and the spinal cord. The difference of tumor dose distributions between 3D and 4D treatment plans was only significant when large tumor movement and deformation was suspected. Therefore, 4D treatment planning is only necessary for large tumor motion and deformation. However, a Monte Carlo calculation is always necessary, independent of tumor motion in the lung.

A test code was written to apply the EGS5 Monte Carlo code recently published to radiotherapy. This test code was designed to calculate the depth dose in cylindrical phantom for point source model. The evaluation of the test code was peformed by calculating the depth dose curves for high energy electrons of 5, 9, 12, and 15 MeV photons of Co-60 and 10 MV in water and comparing the results with DOSRZ/EGS4 results. In depth dose results, the differences between test code and DOSRZ/EGS4 were estimated to be less then ${\pm}1.5%\;and\;{\pm}3.0%$ approximately for electron and photon beams respectively.
