FIGURE GOES HERE
Jaws component with parameters set in the parameter control file shown in orange. The TransZ parameter is an additional changeable parameter in the TOPAS GUI.

The following parameter set fully specifies a pair of asymmetric, diverging jaws, in this case, a symmetric 10 cm wide field at isocenter collimated by a Siemens Oncor jaw with IEC co-ordinates, as in the linac example:
• s:Ge/Jaw/Parent = "IEC_B" #IEC beam limiting device coordinate system
• s:Ge/Jaw/Type = "TsJaws" #TOPAS component for asymmetric, diverging jaws
• s:Ge/Jaw/Material = "G4_W" #Jaw material
• d:Ge/Jaw/SAD = 100 cm #Distance from nominal source position to isocenter along Zb
• s:Ge/Jaw/JawTravelAxis = "Xb" #Jaw travel is along either IEC Xb or Yb axis.
• d:Ge/Jaw/LX = 20. cm #Limit of jaw size in direction of travel
• d:Ge/Jaw/LY = 20. cm # Limit of jaw size orthogonal to direction of travel
• d:Ge/Jaw/LZ = 7.80 cm #Jaw thickness in Zb direction (along beam axis)
• d:Ge/Jaw/SourceToUpstreamSurfaceDistance = 28.26 cm
• dc:Ge/Jaw/NegativeFieldSetting = -5. cm #Opening of jaw on negative side (Xb or Yb), projected to isocenter plane; i.e., jaw position setting for negative jaw
• dc:Ge/Jaw/PositiveFieldSetting = 5. cm #Opening of jaw on positive side (Xb or Yb), projected to isocenter plane; i.e., jaw position setting for positive jaw

dc:Ge/Jaw/PositiveFieldSetting = 5. cm #Opening of jaw on positive side (Xb or Yb), projected to isocenter plane; i.e., jaw position setting for positive jaw

Notes:
1. The distance from the origin of the coordinate system to the jaw is calculated from the SAD and SourceToUpstreamSurfaceDistance. This is for consistency with the linear accelerator simulation example where the position of the treatment head components is specified as the distance from the nominal source position to the upstream surface of the component. The nominal source position is a distance of the SAD from the machine isocenter.
2. NegativeFieldSetting and PositiveFieldSetting specify the jaw edges (field size) as projected to the isocenter on a plane perpendicular to the beam axis Zb. NegativeFieldSetting is less than or equal to PositiveFieldSetting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

TOPAS provides a component to specify a pair of asymmetric, diverging jaws (type = TsJaws), e.g.,
as part of a linear accelerator treatment head. The component is built from Geant4 trapezoids.
