Description

The objective of the present study is to simulate the 6 MV LINAC (model Siddharth), indigenously developed by SAMEER (Society for Applied Microwave Electronics Engineering and Research) using the BEAMnrc user-code of the EGSnrc Monte Carlo Code system. This study also includes identification of initial electron parameters and comparison of calculated dose distributions with the measured data
