dc.description.abstractThe use of Monte Carlo simulations in dosimetry is a well established area of research, and several correction factors, for ionization chambers, were evaluated with these simulations. Some simulated values were considered even more reliable than the experimental measurements. Besides these uses with ionization chambers, Monte Carlo simulations may also be employed in the development and characterization of new dosimetric materials, as polymer gels. They are largely employed in radiotherapy dosimetry to mimic human tissue. New polymer gels were studied in order to better represent different organs or tissues, to provide more reliable results, or even to use different measurement techniques. The objective of this study was to evaluate the dosimetric properties of polymer gels, in relation to its mass-energy absorption coefficients, energy response and tissue equivalence. For this purpose the MCNPX Monte Carlo code was utilized. Three different materials, employed in radiotherapy dosimetry were evaluated in this work: MAGAS, MAGAT and AMPS. For all simulations carried out, the values were within an acceptable uncertainty and in accordance to the expected results.pt_BR
