Determination of water equivalent ratio for some dosimetric materials in proton therapy using MNCPX simulation tool

The water equivalent ratio (WER) was calculated for polypropylene (PP), paraffin, polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and polycarbonate materials with potential applications in dosimetry and medical physics. This was performed using the Monte Carlo simulation code, M...
