To do this for a silicon diode detector, its dose linearity, dose-per-pulse (DPP) dependence, effective point of measurement (EPOM), small field profiles, and small field output factors need to be measured for a variety of conditions that emulate the conditions in which the detector will actually be used. The PTW microSilicon is a silicon diode detector that has not been adequately characterized in the published literature for small field dosimetry applications.}, url = {http://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8046}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.6083/qf85nb88m}, }
