Manual: Physics Reference Guide v9.10
•
Beam source: finite size
•
Effective source intensity distribution model:
2D Gaussian
•
Effective source intensity distribution parameters:
values obtained through the Automodelling
procedures
•
Geometric penumbra modelled accounting for collimator/MLC position with respect to the source
(but not shape of the collimator jaw end?)
