Description

In this work, the simulator objects sizes for PDP, the scattering factor and the depth have been evaluated. Different simulators objects have been used with source-surface distance of 321 cm. The results shown a variation of ± 3% on the scattering factor for the infinite simulator object and differences lesser for the used simulator objects size. Films and TLDs have been used on a anthropomorphic simulator object applying the IAEA 398 protocol observing dose variations of ± 7%
