An electron cutout is placed in the path of an electron beam in order to change the shape of the beam. Because this changes the size and shape of the beam, it will change the dose to the patient due to scatter, field size dependence (especially for small fields), etc. Because MUs are calculated based on the standard 10 cone without any cutout, we must determine how an electron cutout affects measurements regarding this setup. Therefore, one measures dose through an electron cutout (with whatever cone size) and also measures the 10 cone at the same depth and energy. The ratio of these is a cutout factor which can be used to determine MUs (dose required from the machine to produce desired effect in patient).

Why is electron shielding not a factor when you examine a trend across a period?
Electron shielding is not a factor across a period because they all have the same number of electron shells! No further (extra) shells means that they are all affected by electron shielding equally.

What is the difference between piercing and blanking die in tool design?
blanking is an operation where the material is cutout by using a punch and die. The punch will be in the shape similar to that of the required blank. the cutout part is the part which is required and the left out material is the scrap. piercing is the opposite, the cutout part is the scrap and left out part is the final part.
