Simulation of the conditions of photon and electron beam irradiation in magnetic fields for increasing conformity of radiation therapy

Specific features of absorbed dose accumulation in a material irradiated with photon and electron beams in a strong dipole magnetic field have been experimentally investigated. The data obtained are compared with the results of previous model calculations. It is shown that irradiation of targets in...

Zusammenfassung:Specific features of absorbed dose accumulation in a material irradiated with photon and electron beams in a strong dipole magnetic field have been experimentally investigated. The data obtained are compared with the results of previous model calculations. It is shown that irradiation of targets in a magnetic field in order to increase the radiation therapy efficiency is of practical importance.
