Characterization of a 6 MV photon beam in terms of primary and scattered dose components

The purpose of this work was to partition the 6 MV photon beam of a Philips SL75-5 linear accelerator into primary and scattered dose components in water. The two quantities that are necessary to define the primary beam component are a reference dose DR and a primary linear attenuation coefficient &...
