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

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Computes the dose-weighted average LET of a particle field

Usage

AT.dose.weighted.LET.MeV.cm2.g(E.MeV.u, particle.no, fluence.cm2,
 material.no, stopping.power.source.no)

Arguments

E.MeV.u	energy of particles in the mixed particle field (array of size number.of.field.components) (see also E.MeV.u).
particle.no	particle index (array of size number.of.field.components) (see also particle.no).
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	TODO (see also stopping.power.source.no).

Value

dose-weighted

dose-weighted
