Comparison of measured and Monte Carlo-calculated peak scatter factors for 10X10 cm2 field size in 6 MV and 18 MV photon beams

The purpose of this thesis is to measure the peak scatter factors (PSFs) for a 10X10 cm2 field size in 6 MV and 18 MV photon beams using a Solid WaterTM phantom and build-up caps made of LuciteTM, aluminum, brass, and copper. The PSF for the 10X10 cm2 fie...
