An error was identified in the publication by Rabus et al. (2021) summarizing the results of a code comparison exercise organized by the European Radiation Dosimetry Group (EURADOS). In the exercise, the electron spectra emitted by a gold nanoparticle (GNP) in water under irradiation with a confined X-ray beam and the resulting energy deposition in spherical water shells around the GNP were to be determined. Spherical GNPs of 50 nm and 100 nm diameter and two X-ray spectra (50 kVp, 100 kVp) were considered. Photons were emitted from the source as a parallel beam with a circular cross-section whose diameter was 10 nm larger than the GNPs. The error was an incorrectly selected display option in the Origin program used to create Fig. 5 in Rabus et al. (2021). The figure shows energy spectra of electrons in a histogram-like display to illustrate that the data shown are average frequency densities in the intervals of the energy bins. In three of the four panels of Fig. 5, the data were presented in such a way that the energy indicating the energy bin was used as its lower limit, when in fact these energies were the centers of the energy bins. The corrected Fig. 5 is shown below. This error does not affect the conclusions of the paper, which remain unchanged. The authors apologize for any inconvenience.[Formula presented]
