Pre-data Taking Information and Notes

  • Used 200mmx200mmx2mm blue scintillator sheet polystyrene base sandwiched by two 200mmx200mmx50mm polystyrene clear plastic blocks
  • 565mm from lens to centre
  • Check camera in focus with ruler on the sheet
  • Ruler in focus at sheet
  • Scintillator blocks aligned to laser cross hairs
  • 785 mm source to surface distance suitable for output factor/PDD/profile measurements.
  • Wooden box is covered with black cloth
  • Camera height adjusted with wooden plates
  • Top surfaces of plastic blocks and sheet aligned with paper underneath

Data Taking

  • All images taken with
    • Canon EOS 1100D
    • 18-55mm lens
    • f/5
    • 200ISO
    • 30s exposure
  • Beam turned on for a given amount of time within the 30s exposure
  • This is noted in monitor units, with the beam having constant 1000MU/minute
  • Used EOS utility app for controlling camera
  • Image of ruler taken at sheet for pixels to mm conversion
  • 3 images taken at each collimator size with 1 background image each.
