Measurement of neutron and charged particle contamination in high energy medical therapy x-ray beams using recoil track registration in polycarbonate foils
Description
The production of photoneutrons and high-energy charged particles by betatrons and linear accelerators used in radiotherapy is measured. It is concluded there exists sufficient contamination in high-energy x-ray beams to be a consideration in certain radiotherapy situations
