Abstract:Background: High-energy photons produced from a medical linear accelerator (LINAC) have long been used as one of the most effective ways for treating cancers. During the treatment process, some photo neutrons are unavoidably created by [γ,n] reactions, imposing additional and undesirable dose on a patient. This amount of unplanned dose from photo neutrons can potentially harm the patient as well as medical personnel during the treatment. This study is aimed to develop a methodology for measuring fast neutron d… Show more
