Example 4: Source modelling in Varian Eclipse
Manual: Eclipse Algorithms Reference Guide v13+
•
Beam source: point source
•
Effective source intensity distribution model:
2D Gaussian
•
Effective Source distribution parameters:
tuning parameters during the beam configuration
•
Geometric penumbra is modelled accounting for collimator/MLC position with respect to the finite
source size
(but not shape of the collimator jaw end)
