25. Comparison of Geant4 Results to EGSnrc and Measured Data in Large Field Electron Dose Distributions Central axis depth dose curves and dose profiles of 6-21 MeV Primus electron beams were measured for a 40x40 cm field and simulated in EGS4 in work presented at the First McGill International Workshop in 2004. Those Monte Carlo treatment head and water phantom simulations have now been replicated with EGSnrc and the Geant4 Simulation Toolkit (version 8.2.p01). In each case, as with the original EGS4 simulation, source and geometry have been adjusted to best match simulation results to measurement. Geant4 simulations were also shown for case of using the exact same source and geometry parameters used in the EGSnrc simulations.
