In this paper, amplification in dose due to the presence of gold nanoparticles was quantified using Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) simulation. Simulation models included the irradiation of a 30 CEBENT OFF cm x 15 cm pure water-volume phantom with a beam of 1.17 MeV and 1.33 MeV cobalt spectral emissi...
