AT.energy.loss.from.lambda.vavilov: AT.energy.loss.from.lambda.Vavilov

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Computes the energy loss from the lambda parameter of the Vavilov distribution acc. to CERN W5013 CAVE: CERNLIB functions for the Vavilov distribution work with the Landau definition for lambda, not the Vavilov definition. Use AT_energy_loss_from_lambda_Landau... to convert to energy loss. AT_energy_loss_from_lambda_Vavilov... will only work AFTER converting to the Vavilov definition by AT_lambda_Vavilov_from_lambda_Landau... No effective projectile charge is considered!

Usage

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

Arguments

lambda.vavilov	Vavilov 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)
