fluence.cm2.or.dose.Gy

Fluence or dose argument

Many functions in libamtrack can take either the fluence or the
 dose as an argument. For a specific nuclid and energy they can be converted
 into each other (see also <code>AT.dose.Gy()</code> and <code>AT.fluence.cm2</code>). As
 both can only be positive, the argument <code>fluence.cm2.or.dose.Gy</code> will be
 interpreted as fluence [1/cm2] if positive and as dose [Gy] if given as
 negative value. 
<ul>
<li><code>fluence.cm2.or.dose.Gy &lt;- 1e7</code> means fluence = 1e7 / cm2
</li>
<li><code>fluence.cm2.or.dose.Gy &lt;- -10</code> means dose = 10 Gy
</li>
</ul><p></p><p></p>

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.
