title: Comparison between experimental measurements and calculated transport simulation for electron dose distributions inside homogeneous phantoms.
abstract: Comparison is made between dosimetric results measured on electron beams delivered by the three medical accelerators Sagittaire, Saturne and Neptune built by CGR MeV with the results simulated by a Monte Carlo method. In depth, the differences are small for moderate energies with scanned electron beams. In the penumbra region, the differences are small in all cases.
