Description

The energy spectra of the Bremsstrahlung X-rays from the 6 MV medical linear accelerator are measured by attenuation analysis of the transmission data. An universal Monte-Carlo program EGS4 is also used to calculate the Bremsstrahlung spectra of the 6 MV medical linear accelerator. The measurement results are in good agreement with the calculation results
