Re: URSBIN PLOT

Dear Roser,

With an isotropic source in vacuum one would indeed expect the source
fluence to fill the space, with zero energy deposition. With a
mono-directional source in a non-vacuum material, on the other hand, the
fluence (not only of protons but also secondary particles) and energy
deposition then depend on 1) what cross-sectional cut you take; 2) how far
the cut is wrt the particle mean free path, which of course depends on
what material(s) the particle(s) traversed.

*Is your expectation estimated based on the proton range and lateral
spread in the material(s)?

*What do you mean by 'filled with radiation'? Fluence, energy deposition,
...? I thought you meant fluence but your input suggests that you wanted
energy deposition.
