Clinac‐18 electron‐beam energies and spectral energy distributions were measured by a magnetic analysis method to verify results obtained by the standard range method. A comparison of these measurements with nominal energies quoted by the manufacturer indicates that electron‐beam energies measured by both methods are in agreement with the manufacturer's specifications to ±0.6 MeV. Spectral energy distribution of the electron beam was measured to be approximately 1 MeV (FWHM) at all energies.
