AT.total.D.Gy: AT.total.D.Gy

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Computes the total dose of a mixed particle field

Usage

AT.total.D.Gy(E.MeV.u, particle.no, fluence.cm2, material.no,
 stopping.power.source.no)

fluence.cm2	fluences of particles in the mixed particle field (array of size number.of.field.components).
material.no	material index (see also material.no).
stopping.power.source.no	TODO (see also stopping.power.source.no).
