Abstract:
A method for the calculation of electron dose distributions is described. The dose distributions of stationary electron beams in water are represented by formulas for depth dose curves and transverse distributions. Curved surfaces, oblique incidence of rays, and inhomogeneities are taken into account by applying the law of distance and the method of equivalent thicknesses of water layers. A detailed program is given to calculate the electron dose distributions in that plane of the central ray which is at right angle to the theoretical circle plane of a 42 MeV betatron.
