Abstract
In this work, a Monte Carlo code was constructed taking into account all the relevant photon interactions, including the multiple scattering and interference due to the liquid structure to calculate the secondary to primary ratio for large water samples in radiological conditions. The simulation results were compared to former results and some discrepancies were found mainly for low energies where the elastic scattering plays a major role.
