AT.SPC.export.DEDX: AT.SPC.export.DEDX

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Creates stopping power data tables from libamtrack and exports them in TRiP98 compatible format. For the DEDX format, see M. Kr\"amer's TRiP98 documentation: http://bio.gsi.de/DOCS/TRiP98BEAM/DOCS/trip98fmtdedx.html. N.B. check the resulting data carefully for NAs, as not all stopping power data sources might cover the energy grid requested.

Usage

AT.SPC.export.DEDX(stopping.power.source.no, file.name.DEDX = NULL,
 element.names = NULL, energy.MeV.u = NULL, plot = TRUE, write = TRUE)

Arguments

stopping.power.source.no	index of stopping power data source, see also stopping.power.source.no.
file.name.DEDX	path and file name for DEDX data, if not given libamtrack.dedx will be used.
element.names	elements to be used (see particle.no), if not given the ICRU49/73 elements H...Ar will be used.
energy.MeV.u	energy grid, if not given the ICRU49/73 standard (0.025...1000 MeV/u in 51 steps) will be used.
plot	if true, the resulting data will be plotted.
write	if true, the resulting data will be exported in TRiP98 format.

Value

A data frame containing the stopping power data
