    The energy deposition profile is a continuous function of distance
    from beam axis. When you score energy deposited in bins, you are
    averaging over the bin size: as in any discrete approximation to a
    continuous function, to get results independent of the bin width,
    the latter should be such that the variation of the profile be
    about negligible over that width.
    This is impossible to achieve near the axis if you are using a "pencil"
    beam, i.e. a beam of zero width. But a real beam has always a finite
    width: if you input the actual beam width, you can probably get
    a good binning with a width smaller than that of the beam.
    Remember also that delta rays tend to spread the energy deposition:
    so you will get a better result if you set a low delta ray threshold.
    In this case, you can choose a bin width equal to a fraction of the
    average delta ray range.
