Simulation of therapeutic electron beam tracking through a non-uniform magnetic field using finite element method

Introduction: In radiotherapy, megaelectron volt (MeV) electrons are employed for treatment of superficial cancers. Magnetic fields can be used for deflection and deformation of the electron flow. A magnetic field is composed of non-uniform permanent magnets. The primary electrons are not mono-ene...
