Water Cooled Beam Dumps and Collimators for the Stanford Linear Accelerator
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with recent developments of power absorbing devices such as beam d~umps, slits, and collimators. A brief discussion is given cf the heat transfer experiments that have been conducted at the Stanford Linear Acceleretor Ctlter to establish dtaign heat flux collaitions for the various materials tc be used for the power s7 sorbing devices. Design concepts of a 2.2 MW, 11 t; 25 GeV beam dump, as presently being built at SLAC, are also discussed. Finally, there is a typical analysis which leads to the design of a collimator, with emphasis on beam definition, heat transfer, thermal stress development and material selection. Test Apparatus

Comparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation of a Linear Accelerator and Electron Beam Parameters Used in Radiotherapy
Introduction: In recent decades, several Monte Carlo codes have been introduced for research and medical applications. These methods provide both accurate and detailed calculation of particle transport from linear accelerators. The main drawback of Monte Carlo techniques is the extremely long computing time that is required in order to obtain a dose distribution with good statistical accuracy. ...

Introduction In this study, we aimed to assess the medium-term energy stability of a 6MV Elekta CompactTM linear accelerator. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first published article to evaluate this linear accelerator in terms of energy stability. As well as investigating the stability of the linear accelerator energy over a period of several weeks, the results will be useful for esti...
