Analytic model for ionization distributions produced in nanometer volumes by recoil protons(a)
Creators
Description
A concise mathematical model is presented for the microdosimetric ionization distributions produced in subcellular volumes by energetic protons of 0.3 to 20 MeV. The model is based on the results of extensive Monte Carlo computer simulations of high-LET charged particle tracks and can be used to estimate, with only a modest computing effort, straggling and delta-ray transport effects in the nanometer dosimetry of high-LET radiations
