摘要：
The photons and electrons backscattered from the upper and lower secondary collimator jaws give rise to a significant increase in the ion charge measured by the monitor chamber, and this increase varies between different accelerators. We have studied the effect of backscatter into the monitor chamber at 6 MV and 18 MV photon energies for the linear accelerator Clinac-1800.
