Table 3.

Recommended deviation values for different regions of the electron beam [14]

Region designation Type and location of the region Deviation value for simple geometry, homogeneous environment
δ1 High dose, small dose gradient
Central axis of the radiation beam
2.0%
δ2 High dose, large dose gradient
Dose drop area in the central axis, penumbra region
10.0%
δ3 High dose, small dose gradient
Outside the central axis of the radiation beam
3.0%
δ4 Low dose, small dose gradient
Region beyond the beam boundary
3.0%
