Focused VHEE (very high energy electron) beams and dose delivery for radiotherapy applications

Abstract This paper presents the first demonstration of deeply penetrating dose delivery using focused very high energy electron (VHEE) beams using quadrupole magnets in Monte Carlo simulations. We show that the focal point is readily modified by linearly changing the quadrupole magnet strength only...
