The electron can occupy one or the other pocket, or both simultaneously. By controlling the voltages applied to the device, the researchers can control which pocket the electron occupies.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is now a mature spectroscopy with routine use in a range of different scientific areas. A range of electron spectrometer types is available, from time-of-flight ...

Previous studies have shown that electron collimation using a photon MLC (pMLC) can achieve similar quality plans to cut-out collimation, for treatments with a reduced source-to-surface distance (SSD) ...
