Resumen:
To date, FLUKA Monte Carlo code is employed for high energy physics, radiation protection and ? considering medical applications ? hadrontherapy. In view of FLUKA application to dosimetry in nuclear medicine therapy, its predictions concerning electron transport at energies below 3MeV have to be verified and benchmarked. Dose-point-kernels, the dosimetric quantity commonly used to this purpose, were calculated for monenergetic electrons (10keV-3MeV) and compared to those obtained with PENELOPEv.2008 (also calculated in this work) and ETRAN (literature reference data).
