Abstract
The goal of this work was to produce accurate data for use as a 'gold standard' and a valid tool for measurements in reference dosimetry for standard/small static field sizes from 0.5 × 0.5 to 10 × 10 cm2. It is based on the accuracy of the phase space files (PSFs) as a key quantity. Because the IAEA general public database provides few PSFs for the Varian iX, we simulated the head through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and calculated validated PSFs for 12 square field sizes including seven for small static fields. The resulting dosimetric calculations allowed us to reach a good level of agreement in comparison to our relative and absolute dose measurements performed on a Varian iX in water phantom. Measured and MC calculated output factors were investigated for different detectors. Based on the TRS 483 formalism and MC (PENELOPE/penEasy), we calculated output correction factors for the unshielded Diode-E (T60017) and the PinPoint-3D (T31016) micro-chamber according to manufacturers' blueprints. Our MC results were in agreement with the recommended data; they compete with recent measurements and MC simulations and in particular the TRS 483 MC data obtained from similar simulations. Moreover, our MC results provide supplemental data in comparison to TRS 483 data in particular for the PinPoint-3D (T31016). We suggest our MC output correction factors as new datasets for future TRS compilations. The work was substantial, used different robust MC strategies depending on the scoring regions, and led in most cases to uncertainties of less than 1%.
