material numbering

Currently seven predefined materials exist in libamtrack. They
 are referred to using sequential positive integer numbers (see details). The
 material definition follows largely the pstar and astar definitions of NIST
 (http://physics.nist.gov/cgi-bin/Star/compos.pl?ap).
<code>material.no = 0</code> points in contrast to a material defined by the user
 during run-time. This feature is still under development and not available
 yet.

material indexing

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.
