Design and Fabrication of the Mechanical Part of a Prototype Multileaf Collimator System

Introduction: Multileaf collimator (MLC) is state of the art among the radiation field shaping systems for conformal radiotherapy techniques. Some advantages of this system are as follow: reduction of treatment time, higher precision in conforming the radiation field to the projection of the target volume and lowering the chance of errors made by technologists. The purpose of this research was ...

Valuing Persistent ISR Resources

Persistent ISR (PISR) systems are a potential game-changer for asymmetric warfare. Realizing this potential requires delivering actionable information when and where it is needed, while shielding decision-makers from information overload. This paper describes a methodology and prototype system for measuring the military value of Persistent ISR deployments and allocating ISR assets to maximize m...

Collimator R&d Collimator R&d

The importance of collimator R&D with test beam facilities is demonstrated with the example of ILC collimator studies at SLAC End Station A. Related LHC collimator aspects and longer term plans are addressed. Presented at IDTB07, ILC Detector Test Beam workshop, Fermilab, USA, 2007.
