- Abstract
Modern clinical accelerators are capable of producing ion beams from protons up to neon. This work compares the depth dose distribution and corresponding dose averaged linear energy transfer (LET) distribution, which is related to the biological effectiveness, for different ion beams (¹H, ⁴He, ⁶Li, ⁸Be, ¹⁰B, ¹²C, ¹⁴N, and ¹⁶O) using multi-energetic spectra in order to configure spread-out Bragg peaks (SOBP).
