Abstract
Medical Linear Accelerator produces high-intensity bremsstrahlung beam, with typical energy ranges from 4 to 18MV for treatment purposes. The materials including patient exposed to this high energy spectrum lead to a photonuclear reaction in them. In these Photon energy domains, photo neutron production (n, p, and γ, n) is the major reaction channel. This is important as Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen are the predominant elements in a typical human being and having low photon neutron threshold. Apart from this, the equipment involved in a radiation treatment including Head, Couch, immobilization accessories, etc contributes to photo neutron production. The present study was recorded and analyzed the photo neutron spectra due to 15 MV medical linear accelerator using CR-39 Solid State Nuclear Track Detector and image processing software.
