Abstract (english)
Neu tron con tam i na tion of radiotherapeutic pho ton beam oc curs when en er gies higher than 10 MeV are used in ra dio ther apy. To cor rectly as sess the neu tron doses that med i cal per son nel and pa tients re ceive, it is highly im por tant to know the spec tra of the pro duced photoneutrons. One of the most com mon ways to de ter mine such spec trum is to per form Monte Carlo sim u la - tions of the ac cel er a tor. Ma jor is sue in the Monte Carlo mod el ling is that the man u fac tur ers of ten does not pro vide full spec i fi ca tions of the ac cel er a tors head, so some parts of the head are omit ted from the sim u la tion. Within this pa per we pres ent a model that in cludes head cover com pared to the one where it is omit ted, as it can of ten be found in the ref er ences. Neu tron fluxes, spec tra, mean en er gies and place of or i gin are com pared in isocenter, at the point 1 m above tar get and the point 1 m aside from the tar get, in both mod els. In all the con sid ered planes the flux change was found to be more than 20 %, with a sig nif i cantly change in neu tron en ergy, what is also im por tant in neu tron do sim e try. Ig nor ing the head cover in the Monte Carlo mod el ling of the high en ergy elec tron lin ear ac cel er a tors in ra dio ther apy, will in tro duce a large un cer tainty of neu tron doses as sess ing a pa tient, or a med i cal pro fes sional.
