Framework of ARCHER for Varian TrueBeam accelerator

Caption

ARCHER simulates particle transport across the accelerator, patient phantom, and EPID. Key components include the target, primary collimator, flattening filter, ionization chamber, mirror, jaws, HDMLC, and EPID (equipped with phosphor screen, a-Si panel, aluminum, and lead). Three phase space planes are defined at distinct positions, and the EPID model adopts realistic materials to guarantee accurate dose calculation.
