In this study, radiotherapy simulations were studied using Carbon-12 (12C) ion source. For this purpose, radiation dose distribution in water was investigated by bombarding water with 12C ions in different energies. As energies of 12C ions were increased, the maximum dose region occurred in more depth. Then, water was bombarded with 12C by placing different materials on the surface of the water, and radiation dose distribution in water was studied. The thickness of material placed in front of the surface of water changed the location of maximum radiation dose region. This trend provided the opportunity to be able to create a maximum dose region of what we wanted in water by using a mono-energetic source. For derivation of dose distribution, Gate/Geant4 program was used.
