Measurement of neutron dose component in central axis absorbed dose of 18 MV photon beam by TLD600 and TLD700 dosimeters

Measurement of neutron dose component in central axis absorbed dose of 18 MV photon beam by TLD600 and TLD700 dosimeters

Background: In spite of clinically useful photon and electron beams, high energy linacs produce secondary particles such as neutrons (photo-neutron production). Neutrons have important roles during treatment with high energy photons in terms of protection and dose escalation. In this project, neutro...
