Modifying a clinical linear accelerator for delivery of ultra-high dose rate irradiation.

CONCLUSIONS: A clinical accelerator was modified to produce ultra-high dose rates, high enough for FLASH irradiation. Future work aims to fine-tune the dose delivery, using the on-board transmission chamber signal and adjusting the dose-per-pulse.
