Abstract
Ionization profiles of conformed therapeutic electron beams were measu red at normal and oblique incidence. At oblique incidence it appears t hat the air gap produces a competition between the coulombic multiple- scattering and the loss of intensity of the beam both of which depend upon the size of the conformed beam. Comparisons of our results with s imple multiple-scattering calculations are performed. (C) 1997 Elsevie r Science B.V.
