Résumé
A clinical linear accelerator has been installed and commissioned at the National Research Council of Canada. Detailed testing of the linac has shown that in standard specification it can be used for reference dosimetry with a precision of better than 0.1%. Investigations focussed on geometrical precision, energy constancy, calibration of the monitor chamber, and doserate stability, and in all cases the performance exceeded the minimum required for standards-level dosimetric measurements. The ease of use, particularly in terms of selecting energy and doserate, together with this level of performance makes a clinical accelerator a viable option for the primary standards laboratory.
