Figure 2

Electron ranges in SMFs calculated by etsmode and EGS. (A) shows the penetration length and projected range in the absence of a SMF (B = 0.0 T) and (B) shows the projected range in the presence of various SMF strengths (B = 0.0–10.0 T). The simulation results by etsmode and EGS are in good agreement with each other and other simulation results by the Geant4-DNA toolkit30. As shown in Fig. 2B, the projected range of high-energy electrons is largely affected by the SMF strength.
