Résumé

Shen (2019) commented on our paper 'Lateral response heterogeneity of Bragg peak ionization chambers for narrow-beam photon and proton dosimetry' regarding the impact of the low dose tail of the collimated x-ray beam we used to acquire individual response maps of large area ionization chambers. The behavior of this low dose tail was measured and compared to the simulations performed by Shen (2019). It was shown that the model of the tail by Shen (2019) is too simplistic and overestimates its effect.
