Study and evaluation of correction factors applied to ionization chambers in radiotherapy photon beams

The use of a beam quality correction factor,kQ, is needed in dosimetry of radiotherapy beams for correcting differences between chamber responses at the calibration beam quality, Q0 and at the quality beam of the user, Q. The purpose of this study is to determine the beam quality correction fact...
