Hi, in the late '90s I used a software package from AIC Software Inc., called Photcoef, to calculate the ionizing dose / energy deposited and attenuation of x-rays and gamma rays through material stacks. This was very useful but the DOS software no longer functions and AIC no longer exists. Do you know any alternative that includes dose build-up due to generated electrons etc? I know I could use GEANT but this is rather too complex for my needs. Thanks Mark
1.As far as I know, Photocoef produces cross-section data online. I remember having used it.
2.You may still use DOS programs, under VMWARE-Virtual Box. I still use programs from 1993 to collect data from instruments or to communicate with old-fashioned data-loggers. Virtual Box is completely free, it runs under WIN OS and Linux. There several pre-compiled DOS versions for VB.
3.You could download XCOM. It produces cross-sectionsand can be used for the needs you ask. Classical books (e.g. Khan-Jonhs & Cunningham provide many details among the several AAPM protocols)
4.I employed EGSnrcMP and MCNP for such calculations. If the problem at hand is not very complex, I may provide some help.
5.Instead of GEANT4 which needs programming in C++, you may employ the well-accepted GEANT4 script language, namely GATE. Very good documentation and group.
Kind Regards,

Hi! Are there any available analogues of these programs? On the Internet, I did not know anything about them. I need to calculate the dose from ultra-soft (
