TY - THES AB - According to Technical Report Series No. 483 (TRS 483), a detector that is used for large field dosimetry applications is assumed to be unacceptable for small field dosimetry applications until that detector has been adequately characterized specifically for small field dosimetry applications1. 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.
