The purpose of this thesis is to measure the peak scatter factors (PSFs) for a 10X10 cm2 field size in 6 MV and 18 MV photon beams using a Solid WaterTM phantom and build-up caps made of LuciteTM, aluminum, brass, and copper. The PSF for the 10X10 cm2 field size was first determined by extrapolating the measured normalized peak scatter factor (NPSF) to 0X0 cm2 field size. The extrapolated NPSF was the reciprocal of the PSF(10, hv). The measured PSF(10, hv) was then compared to the PSF determined with Monte Carlo methods. We used Monte Carlo methods to investigate the dependence of the measured signal on the build-up cap material. This was c...
