Thermal limits on MV x‐ray production by bremsstrahlung targets in the context of novel linear accelerators
Abstract
To study the impact of target geometrical and linac operational parameters, such as target material and thickness, electron beam size, repetition rate, and mean current on the ability of the radiotherapy treatment head to deliver high‐dose‐rate x‐ray irradiation in the context of novel linear accelerators capable of higher repetition rates/duty cycle than conventional clinical linacs.
