| Zusammenfassung | The German National Metrology Institute (PTB-Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt) operates the Metrological Electron Accelerator Facility (MELAF) for service and research in the field of dosimetry for external beam radiotherapy. A custom-designed research electron linear accelerator (LINAC) and two commercially available medical LINACs, together with a Co-60 irradiation facility, offer excellent experimental conditions for investigations requiring high-energy photon and electron radiation. The PTB makes available its metrologically well-characterised radiation fields to external researchers from, for example, the field of radiobiology or medical radiation protection research. |
