An approximate analytical solution of the Bethe equation for charged particles in the radiotherapeutic energy range.

Charged particles such as protons and carbon ions are an increasingly important tool in radiotherapy. There are however unresolved physics issues impeding optimal implementation, including estimation of dose deposition in non-homogeneous tissue, an essential aspect of treatment optimization. Monte C...
