An evaluation of energy-independent heavy ion transport coefficient approximations.
Using a one-dimensional transport theory for laboratory heavy ion propagation, evaluations of typical energy-independent transport coefficient approximations are made by comparing theoretical depth-dose predictions to published experimental values for incident 670 MeV/nucleon 20Ne beams in water. Results are presented for cases where the input nuclear absorption cross sections, or input fragmentation parameters, or both, are fixed.
