    Research in Nuclear Medicine (Medical Physics).Using a Monte Carlo simulation package Called FLUKA, penetration of heavy ions(12C) and protons into the human body was studied. Heavy ions and protons are used to treat cancer. An unintended consequence of these cancer treatments are cellular damage due to stray neutrons. Stray neutron dose at different angles and lengths were also calculated. A new mathematical model was developed to calculate the in-body stray neutron equivalent dose at different distances from a patient. Findings of this research project will lead to improvement of cancer treatments using heavy ions and protons.
