Analysis of the track- and dose-averaged LET and LET spectra in proton therapy using the geant4 Monte Carlo code

PURPOSE: The motivation of this study was to find and eliminate the cause of errors in dose-averaged linear energy transfer (LET) calculations from therapeutic protons in small targets, such as biological cell layers, calculated using the geant 4 Monte Carlo code. Furthermore, the purpose was also t...
