AT.energy.loss.from.lambda.landau: AT.energy.loss.from.lambda.Landau

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Converts the energy loss to the corresponding lambda parameter in Landau definition. CAVE: Use this function also with the lambda from AT_Vavilov_PDF and AT_Vavilov_IDF since these work with the Landau definition rather than the Vavilov definition of lambda. No effective projectile charge is considered!

Usage

AT.energy.loss.from.lambda.Landau(lambda.landau, E.MeV.u, particle.no,
 material.no, slab.thickness.um)

Arguments

lambda.landau	Landau lambda (array of size n).
E.MeV.u	energy of particle per nucleon (array of size n) (see also E.MeV.u).
particle.no	particle index (array of size n) (see also particle.no).
material.no	material index (see also material.no).
slab.thickness.um	slab thickness in um (array of size n).

Value

energy.loss.keV

(array of size n)
