Description

This study provides a benchmark of the PENELOPE/PENH (2021 version) Monte Carlo code for proton transport using reference results from the established PHITS code. The comparison focuses on absorbed-dose distributions generated by a finite-spot proton pencil beam. Integrated depth-dose curves were simulated for monoenergetic beams ranging from $100 \text{ to } 250 \text{ MeV}$ incident on a water phantom. The degree of agreement between PENH and PHITS is quantitatively assessed for depth-dose behavior. The results evaluate PENH’s accuracy and establish its suitability for general proton transport applications.
