TPS performance related to penumbra modelling (beam source modelling and lateral electron transport effects)

Type of calculation model

Homogeneous water medium

Heterogeneous medium

Factor-based

Limited performance

Pencil kernel (PB)

Dependant on beam source model

Lateral electron transport effects mostly ignored Lateral electron transport effects approximately acounted for

Point kernel (conv/sup, CC, AAA)

Dependant on beam source model

Monte Carlo
