Difference in the relative response of the alanine dosimeter to megavoltage x-ray and electron beams.
In order to increase the usefulness of the alanine dosimeter as a tool for quality assurance measurements in radiotherapy using MV x-rays, the response with respect to the dose to water needs to be known accurately. This quantity is determined experimentally relative to (60)Co for 4, 6, 8, 10, 15 and 25 MV x-rays from two clinical accelerators. For the calibration, kQ factors for ionization cha...
متن کاملFemtosecond Electron Beam and X - Ray Beams at the Linac Coherent Light Source
Generation of ultrashort x-ray pulses (femtoseconds to attoseconds) is attracting much attention within the x-ray FEL user community. At the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), we have successfully delivered femtosecond x-ray pulses to the users with two operating modes – low-charge (20-40pC) scheme and emittance spoiling foil method. Diagnostics on the femtosecond beams is also a challenging t...

Introduction: Scatter radiation is one of the major sources of error in nuclear medicine data processing. Different methods of scatter correction have been introduced in order to improve the quality of data. However the best method is to avoid recording of scatter photons in acquisition. The only difference between scattered and non-scattered photons is the energy. Pulse height analyzer i...
