Hi everyone,
I ‘m working on MLC validation , i’m trying to validate dosimetric parameters with simulating Picket and fence test. Also using and evaluating variance reduction techniques . With, using DBS for some reaons i divided my accelerator on two parts , the upperpart ( from flatfit to slabs including jaws) the lowerpart ( slabs/MLC/slabs). i already worked with the whole accelerator without problems.
In fact , the phase space file i get from the upper part is good ( beamdp shows me the correct shape) but the lower part show many problems:
– the simulation run fast about two minutes on BEAM.
-dosxyz run show me a circle on dosxyzshow ( it’s like the source don’t reach the MLC)
– i use the source 21 and the parameters are correct.
– i try to change ( with or without DBS in and out of the source).
– scoring plane is correct.
-Beamdp plotting particules shows a circle.
Even when i remove DBS , it’s the same thing , simulation run about one minute and give me a small space phase file.
i’m think that the architecture of the low part is correct even it was suggested to me . Could you help me please , i try to make conclusions with DBS for my Picket and fence test.
PS: Range rejection allowed me to have better result , doing this test you must now that it’s hard to get a plenty final space phase file . The MLC is not completely open. i hope i was clear.
Thank you.
