| Zusammenfassung | Measurements in the scope of radiation protection in the radiation fields of medical linear accelerators have become more and more important. Since the photon energy and dose rate in the primary beam of these accelerators are above the rated ranges of most radiation protection personal dosemeters, the idea is to use a defined scattered field for testing these devices. Different scattering objects in the primary beam should act as the source of the scattered field. The dose rate in the scattered field could then be tuned by the amount of material in the object, i.e. by its volume. The photon energy will be reduced in the scattered field according to the Compton scattering process. Tests have been made with three different objects in the primary beam and measuring the scattered field using a secondary standard ionization chamber. |
