AT.mean.energy.loss.keV: AT.mean.energy.loss.keV

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Computes the mean energy loss in a slab of material using the Bethe formula for many particles according to ICRU49 BUT WITHOUT shell, Bloch or Barkas correction! No effective projectile charge is considered!

Usage

AT.mean.energy.loss.keV(E.MeV.u, particle.no, material.no,
 slab.thickness.um)

Arguments

E.MeV.u	energies of particle per nucleon (see also E.MeV.u).
particle.no	particle indices (see also particle.no).
material.no	material index (see also material.no).
slab.thickness.um	slab thickness in um.
