A Control System of a Scanning Electron Pulsed Beam for an Industrial Linac
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method and a control system of a scanning electron and a bremsstrahlung pulsed beam for industrial linac. The system uses ultrasonic emission generated by the beam in thin rods and plates, as a source of primary information about the current characteristics of each electron/bremsstrahlung pulse. The results of the uniform radiation field forming are discussed.

An assessment of the Photon Contamination due to Bremsstrahlung Radiation in the Electron Beams of a NEPTUN 10PC Linac using a Monte Carlo Method
Introduction: In clinical electron beams, most of bremsstrahlung radiation is produced by various linac head structures. This bremsstrahlung radiation dose is influenced by the geometry and construction of every component of the linac treatment head structures. Thus, it can be expected that the amount of the contaminated photon dose due to bremsstrahlung radiation varies among different linacs,...

متن کاملBeam characteristics and leakage assessment of an in-house intra-operative electron applicator system
Background: Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) technique is used to treat a surgically exposed tumor or tumor bed in the treatment of locally advanced intraabdominal, retroperitoneal, pelvic, thoracic, breast and soft tissue tumors. One way to perform IORT is to use an existing linac and modify the treatment head using an applicator system. In this study the objectives were to design, and ...
متن کاملThe effect of surface roughness on 1050 aluminum alloy weld profile welded by pulsed Nd:YAG laser
Surface roughness in the welding processes is one of the important parameters in the laser welded metal connections which affects laser beam absorption directly. When the laser beam is irradiated to the surface of the base metal, the surface roughness plays an important role in the amount of beam absorption and the amount of melting achieved and directly affects the penetration depth. The main ...
