One of these methods is to produce heterogeneous samples by 3D printing. In order to select the most appropriate parameters for such products, it is necessary to conduct numerical simulations. In this work, we developed the model of a beam-forming system using a medical linear accelerator as a reference. This model was used to determine simulation parameters and corresponding dose distributions of an electron beam with nominal energies of 6, 12, and 15 MeV in a homogeneous water phantom. These parameters were, in fact, adapted to provide maximum agreement between simulated distributions and those experimentally obtained with the clinical linear accelerator. The beam simulation was performed using the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit. The simulation geometry of the accelerator treatment head includes scattering foil and a flattening filter, which are designed for electron beam broadening. Additionally, the beam-forming system was incorporated to collimate the beam to the required size. A metal applicator was included to reduce the contribution of electron scattering in air. The main simulation parameters were iteratively tuned by comparing simulation results with experimentally obtained data. It is shown that the simulated percentage depth dose and transverse profiles for electron beams in water phantom are in good agreement with the experimental data obtained with a cylindrical ionization chamber. This demonstrates that the methodology employed in the development of the numerical model of the medical linear accelerator is vendor-independent, readily implementable, and allows for rapid calculations. Furthermore, the model can be applied for a variety of purposes, including the selection of parameters for the fabrication of heterogeneous dosimetry phantoms.","PeriodicalId":507814,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Instrumentation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141850817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This AI-Agent not only condenses information but also effectively references relevant responses, offering substantial advantages for collaborators. Our project involves a two-step approach: first, querying a comprehensive vector database containing all pertinent experiment information; second, utilizing a Large Language Model (LLM) to generate concise summaries enriched with citations based on user queries and retrieved data. We describe the evaluation methods that use RAG assessments (RAGAs) scoring mechanisms to assess the effectiveness of responses. Furthermore, we describe the concept of prompt template based instruction-tuning which provides flexibility and accuracy in summarization. Importantly, the implementation relies on LangChain [1], which serves as the foundation of our entire workflow. This integration ensures efficiency and scalability, facilitating smooth deployment and accessibility for various user groups within the Electron Ion Collider (EIC) community. This innovative AI-driven framework not only simplifies the understanding of vast datasets but also encourages collaborative participation, thereby empowering researchers.
