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. 000008046 650__ $$aRadiation$$025066 000008046 6531_ $$amedical physics 000008046 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000008046 7001_ $$aTurnidge, Austin 000008046 8564_ $$96424caa3-8078-44b3-80af-5e1d7b928f55$$s8713002$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8046/files/Turnidge.Austin.2020.pdf 000008046 905__ $$a/rest/prod/qf/85/nb/88/qf85nb88m 000008046 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8046$$pstudent-work 000008046 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
