[Gate-users] Proton Therapy Simulation

[Hermann Fuchs]

Hi,

I am not sure whether I understand your problem.
LET is the energy deposited per unit length. So in my opinion this
should be measurable using the actors. The dose actor for instance
records dose or deposited energy.
Just scale the voxel size down. If you need it more precise, use the
track actor.

Cheers,
Hermann
