Abstract: Abstract Primary barrier design for linac shielding depends very sensitively on tenth value layer (TVL) data. Inaccuracies can lead to large discrepancies between measured and calculated values of the barrier transmission. Values of the TVL… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract There is widespread consensus in the literature that flattening filter free (FFF) beams have a lower primary barrier transmission than flattened beams. Measurements presented here, however, show that for energy compensated FFF beams, the… read more here.
