A study of large field configurations in MC simulations
We discuss a new approach of scalar field theory where the small field contributions are treated perturbatively and the large field configurations (which are responsible for the asymptotic behavior of the perturbative series) are neglected. In two Borel summable λφ problems improved perturbative series can be obtained by this procedure. The modified series converge towards values exponentially ...
متن کاملCommissioning of a PTW 34070 large‐area plane‐parallel ionization chamber for small field megavoltage photon dosimetry
PURPOSE This study investigates a large-area plane-parallel ionization chamber (LAC) for measurements of dose-area product in water (DAPw ) in megavoltage (MV) photon fields. METHODS Uniformity of electrode separation of the LAC (PTW34070 Bragg Peak Chamber, sensitive volume diameter: 8.16 cm) was measured using high-resolution microCT. Signal dependence on angle α of beam incidence for squar...
متن کاملEnergy and field size dependence of a silicon diode designed for small-field dosimetry
Purpose: To investigate the energy dependence/spectral sensitivity of silicon diodes designed for small-field dosimetry and obtain response factors (RFs) for arbitrary photon spectra using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. Methods: The EGSnrc user-code DOSRZnrc was used to calculate the dose deposition in water and in the active volume of a stereotactic diode f...
متن کاملReference dosimetry and small - field dosimetry in external beam radiotherapy : Results from a Danish intercomparison study
max. 2000 char.): A comparison of dosimetry methods at different clinics can be used as a means to uncover systematic uncertainties in radiotherapy. To assess the current status of reference dosimetry and small-field dosimetry in clinical practice, a collaborative comparison study involving several dosimetry methods was performed by DTU Nutech at six Danish clinics. The first part of the interc...
متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
