Hi guys,
I define a beam in GPS. I’m not sure if that is correct or not, especially beam divergence. please help me.
These are my beam characteristics:
it considers a Gaussian shape for the energy spectrum. irradiation configurations were created broad beam. Energy spreads of 0.1% MeV of total energy were simulated. A realistic beam divergence of 3 mrad was assumed. The dimensions of the beam source were 2 x 2 cm in the case of broad beam irradiation.
this is my macro
#beam#1
