Collimator scatter factor: Monte Carlo and in-air measurements approaches

Abstract Background Linac output as a function of field sizes has a phantom and a head scatter component. This last term can be measured in-air with appropriate build-up ensuring a complete electron equilibrium and the absence of the contaminant electrons. Equilibrium conditions could be achieved us...
