rdd.model: Radial dose distribution (rdd) models
Description
In libamtrack, there are currently seven parametrizations of
distribution of local dose around particle track as a function of the primary
particle's energy and type. They are referred to using sequential positive
integer numbers (see details).Details
The implemented rdd models are:

rdd.model description
1 A simple test function (constant over entire track width/electron
range)
2 Point target rdd proposed by Butts and Katz (Butts & Katz, 1969)
3 Simplified extended target rdd proposed by O. Geiss (Geiss, 1997)
4 Simplified extended target rdd proposed by Katz (Katz et al., 1972)
5 Point target rdd proposed by Cucinotta (Cucinotta, XXXX)
