AT.fluence.weighted.LET.MeV.cm2.g: AT.fluence.weighted.LET.MeV.cm2.g

Description

Computes the fluence-weighted average LET of a particle field

Usage

fluence.cm2

fluences of particles in the mixed particle field (array of size number.of.field.components).

material.no

material index (see also material.no).

stopping.power.source.no
