title: Contribution from the inner shell of water vapour to dose profiles under proton and alpha particle irradiation.
abstract: Doubly differential cross sections for electron emission calculated using the CDW-EIS model and a simple approximation for the electron transport in the target are used to obtain dose profiles around the ion path for proton and alpha particles in water vapour. The contribution from each initial molecular orbital is determined. At large distances from the track, discrepancies are found with other models and with the well known r-2 dependence.
