AT.total.fluence.cm2: AT.total.fluence.cm2

In libamtrack: Computational Routines for Proton and Ion Radiotherapy

Description

Computes the total fluence of a mixed particle field

Usage

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

D.Gy	doses 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).
