Nuclear effects in proton transport and dose calculations

Interactions of protons with nuclei are modeled in a form that is suitable for Monte Carlo simulation of proton transport. The differential cross section (DCS) for elastic collisions of protons with neutral atoms is expressed as the product of the Rutherford DCS, which describes scattering by a bare...
