[Gate-users] dose averaged LET using LETActor

[Andreas Franz Resch]

Hi zhanghui,

nice to hear that it worked.
the unit of the output of the LET actor is keV/um = MeV/mm.

If you want to check your LET values, e.g. try out a 160 MeV proton PB 
in water using QGSP_BIC_HP_EMY and compare it to values from 
Cortes-Giraldo 2015 "A critical study of different Monte Carlo scoring 
methods of dose average linear-energy-transfer maps calculated in 
voxelized geometries irradiated with clinical proton beams".

Kind regards,
Andreas
