Abstract

Flattening filter free (FFF) beams pose particular considerations for absolute dosimetry. • These beams are capable to deliver high doses per pulse (DPP) which implies special consideration regarding recombination effects in ionization chambers. • We wanted to know which type of ionization chamber (Farmer, Semiflex or Pinpoint) would be more appropriate for commisioning our new FFF beam.
