Show affiliations


An instrument and associated mechanical assembly is described which combines the measurement of two parameters from a linear accelerator. The overlaid display of the radiation field flatness and the optical field size markers allows examination of the radiation beam symmetry to be combined with a comparison of radiation and optical field size against the machine's collimator settings.
