A Comparison of Conventional Empirical Formula and MCNPX Code in the Estimations of Photon and Neutron Skyshine Rates for an 18MV Radiotherapy Bunker
Purpose: A physical phenomenon, scattering the radiation by the atmosphere above the room to the points at ground level around the linac treatment room is known as skyshine radiation. This study aimed to estimate photon and neutron skyshine from a linac in a high-energy radiation therapy facility....
