# Exit window and target for Siemens Oncor
# Reference for geometry: Jabbari et al, J Med Signal Sens 3(3):172-179, 2013
# Exit window water channel thickness: Sawkey and Faddegon, Med Phys 36(12):5622-32
# Additional target details: Faddegon et al, Med Phys 31(1):91-97, 2004
#
# Positioning relative to nominal source position using parameters Pos and Reloc
# Simulation of three distinct regions: vacuum, exit window and target
# All regions are simulated as cylinders, using TOPAS component TsCylinder
#
########################## Key Parameters In Target.txt ###############################
# Parameters set in another parameter control file...
# SAD: Source axis distance (distance from nominal source position to isocenter)
#
# Parameters available for adjustment...
# Rmax:    Maximum radius of cylinder
# HL:      Half of cylinder's thickness
# Pos:     Distance along gantry axis Zg from nominal target position (defined by SAD)
#
# Parameters calculated from above parameters...
# Reloc:   Distance from isocenter to center of the first object in the region
# TransZ1: Position of lower surface of previous object along Zg
# TransZ:  Position of center of object along Zg
