Evaluation of ion alpha and beta LQ parameters

Description

The evaluation is performed for a monoenergetic ion. It uses a C++ implementation for the evaluation. It accepts a sequence of parameters and ion specifications stored in an input data.frame.

Usage

alpha.beta.ion.sequence(model = "MKM", parameters = data.frame(cell =
  "test", alpha0 = 0.1295, beta0 = 0.03085, rN = 4, rd = 0.31, particle =
  "H", energy = 50, let = NULL), calculusType = "rapidMKM",
  precision = 0.5, ignore.stdout = TRUE, ignore.stderr = TRUE,
  remove.temp.files = TRUE)

Arguments

model	the name of the model (options: 'MKM', 'LEMI', 'LEMII', 'LEMIII')
parameters	input data.frame containing the cell name (column 'cell', optional) "biological" parameters associated to a specific biological tissue/model, and the specification of the primary particles (ion type and energy and/or LET). All the parameters have to be put in a dataframe. Each row of the dataframe represent the irradiation of a specific tissue/model with a specific particle. In the case of the MKM the biological parameters alpha0 LQ alpha parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-1] beta0 LQ beta parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-2] rN cell nucleus radius [um] rd domain radius [um] In the case of LEMI, LEMII, LEMIII: alpha0 LQ alpha parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-1] beta0 LQ beta parameter of the reference radiation [Gy^-2] rN cell nucleus radius [um] Dt threshold dose [Gy] The ion is specified with the columns: particle ion type: 'H', 'He', 'Li', 'Be', 'B', 'C', 'N', 'O', 'F' or 'Ne' energy Energy of the particle in MeV/u let LET of the particle in keV/um. It is used only if the energy is not specified. #' @family LEM/MKM Models
calculusType	the type of the evaluations options are: rapidKase implementation of MKM as described in (Kase2008) rapidMKM more correct implementation for the MKM from the one described in (Kase2008) newMKMKase "rapidKase" implementation + non poissionian correction for beta newMKM "rapidMKM" implementation + non poissionian correction for beta rapidScholz fast implementation of the LEMI, LEMII, LEMIII (Scholz2000) rapidRusso fast implementation of the LEMI, LEMII, LEMIII, more accurate than the rapidScholz (Russo2010) slow_alphaIon_betaIon slow Monte Carlo evaluation (compatible with MKM, LEMI, LEMII and LEMIII).
