Table 1. Winston-Lutz QA outcomes for three beamline setups.
The distance of the ballbearing to the beam isocentre was captured via radiochromic film in the X, Y and Z axes. Measurement uncertainties (as described in Section 2.4.1) are shown for each axis; the three errors are combined in quadrature to give the total uncertainty in the 3D measurement.
| Distance to isocentre (mm) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X (±0.050) | Y (±0.050) | Z (±0.050) | 3D (±0.087) | |
| Beamline setup 1 | 0.013 | 0.037 | 0.167 | 0.171 |
| Beamline setup 2 | 0.041 | 0.032 | 0.049 | 0.074 |
| Beamline setup 3† | 0.331 | 0.543 | 0.780 | 1.007 |
This result highlights an error in the beamline setup.
