Monte Carlo (MC) is considered as the gold standard for dose calculations of complex radiotherapy and the accuracy is mainly restricted by the statistical uncertainty. However, accurate MC simulations of radiation transport rely on a detailed description of the linear accelerator. The linac head is...
