  • An investigation on photoneutron production from medical linear accelerators

    Creator:
    Eller, Leanna R.
    Abstract:
    The photoneutron production from three Varian linear accelerators ranging in energies from 6 MV to 23 MV has been investigated. Photoneutrons are produced during (γ, n) interactions with materials located within the treatment head. These unwanted neutrons not only increase patient dose, but may also lead to the requirement of...
