AT.energy.straggling.MeV2.cm2.g

vector of energies of particle per nucleon [MeV] (array of
 size n) (see also <code><a href="/link/E.MeV.u?package=libamtrack&version=0.6.3" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="libamtrack::E.MeV.u">E.MeV.u</a></code>).

E.MeV.u

type of the particles in the mixed particle field (array
 of size n) (see also <code><a href="/link/particle.no?package=libamtrack&version=0.6.3" rd-options="" data-mini-rdoc="libamtrack::particle.no">particle.no</a></code>).

particle.no

index number for slab material (see also

Get energy spread with depth according to Bohr's classical theory
 Bohr, N. (1915), Phil. Mag. 30, 581ff, see also Evans, R.D. (1955), The
 atomic nucleus, McGraw Hill, New York, p. 661
 In the literature dsE2dz is often given in units ergs2/cm. Here we report it
 mass-normalized MeV2*cm2/g
 Since the effective charge of the particle enters the equation, particle
 types and energies have to be given
 The equation is however limited to energies > 10 MeV/u and not too heavy ions
 TODO: add William extension for relativistic effects (Williams, E.J. (1945),
 Revs. Mod. Phys. 17, 217ff)

R interface to the open-source, ANSI C library 'libamtrack' (http://libamtrack.dkfz.org). 'libamtrack' provides computational routines for the prediction of detector response and radiobiological efficiency in heavy charged particle beams. It is designed for research in proton and ion dosimetry and radiotherapy. 'libamtrack' also includes many auxiliary physics routines for proton and ion beams. Original package and C-to-R conversion routines developed by Felix A. Klein.
