A comparative Monte Carlo study on 6MV photon beam characteristics of Varian 21EX and Elekta SL-25 linacs
Background: Monte Carlo method (MC) has played an important role in design and optimization of medical linacs head and beam modeling. The purpose of this study was to compare photon beam features of two commercial linacs, Varian 21EX and Elekta SL-25 using MCNP4C MC code. Materials and Methods: The 6MV photon beams of Varian 21EX and Elekta Sl-25 linacs were simulated based on manufacturers pro...
متن کاملRole of Linear Accelerators in Water Treatment
Due to the aggressive industrial development in many countries, coupled with an increase in population in some of these countries, the need exists for more advanced and effective techniques for treating wastewater. Recent efforts searching for safe and practical alternatives have resulted in the consideration of the use of irradiation with high-energy electron beams. Such an electron beam can b...

This paper reviews the status of existing and planned electron linacs. The progress on development of superconducting electron linacs is not discussed except for a few remarks on the SLAC conversion program study. Progress in the superconducting area is being reported in other papers 1,2,3 which are being presented to this conference. Because the SLAC accelerator is the largest existing electro...
متن کاملHigh-brightness Beams from a Light Source Injector: the Advanced Photon Source Low-energy Undulator Test Line Linac
The use of existing linacs, and in particular light source injectors, for free-electron laser (FEL) experiments is becoming more common due to the desire to test FELs at ever shorter wavelengths. The high-brightness, highcurrent beams required by high-gain FELs impose technical specifications that most existing linacs were not designed to meet. Moreover, the need for specialized diagnostics, es...
