Description

Linear accelerators e-Linacs are defective in creation of an undesired neutron dose, which is absorbed by the patient with the photon beam. For a combined photoneutron therapy it is necessary to study the neutron dose angular distribution from a compact neutron photonconverter (Micro PHONES) equipment that can produce and moderate neutrons. These measurements are realized with a 3D support for bubble dosimeters.
