We have measured the radiation doses at different positions of a Cobalt-60 gamma irradiator room using Fricke and Ceric-cerous dosimeters. Now, we want to compare and validate the obtained dose with established formula (to calculate radiation dose) and dose calculated by Monte Carlo simulation. I need help to calculate the dose using Monte Carlo simulation. It will be a great pleasure for me, if there is anyone who has expertise in Monte Carlo simulation and interested to help me.
Thank you very much.
Geant4 can be used to calculate radiation dose in a medium. You may check example B1 of geant4 to get some idea.

As mentioned by Abhik Jash the best way to calculate the radiation dosed is Geant4
Another option is for your institution to subscribe to MC calculator developed in LOS ALAMO S, US for the software. Go to the internet and you'll be taken to the link that help you contact them.
Dear Firoz
There are a number of MC codes such as MCNP, GEANT,FLUKA etc. that can be used to do any parametric studies including high dose dosimetry. There is an article that covers MC simulation, high dose dosimetry and benchmarking it is the following:
Sohrabpour, M., Hassanzadeh, M., Shahriari, M., Sharifzadeh, M., “Gamma irradiation dose mapping simulation using the MCNP code and benchmarking with dosimetry”, 2002, J. Appl. Radn. Isot.Vol. 57, No. 4, PP. 537-542
i am willing to help and the best way is working side by side
There are many MC simulation codes EGS4, PENELOPE, MCNP(4, 5, X or 6) and GEANT4…, in first you must define your problematic very clearly (cells, geometry, sources definition, tally....), and begin to create your CODE.
I'm one of the users of MCNP, I can help you if your problematics have a relation with my publication
Comparison of RPL GD-301 and TLD-100 detectors responses by Monte Carlo simulation. A-H. Benali, G. Medkour Ishak-Boushaki, A. Nourreddine and M. Allab. Volume 100 (2015) EPJ Web of Conferences, 100 (2015) 02001.
I would like to simulate radiation dose from Computed Tomography and Medical X-ray equipments. How can I do that?
Dear Mr. Huseyin,
Assalamualaikum.
Thank you very much for your interest in solving my problem; however, fortunately, the problem has been solved for now. I will let you know if I need any help in future.
