I want to be confirmed that I can distinguish between the name pf particles in the output file “LET.out” in radiobiology, please?
As in the Readme
"
3- LET CALCULATION
Radiobiology simulates and calculates the averaged LET-dose and LET-track fully accounting for the contribution of secondary particles generated in the target fragmentation
Dependencies as respect to the transport parameters adopted during the Monte Carlo simulations as the production cut of secondaries particles, voxel size and the maximum steps length are minimized in the LET calculation.
At run time, data needed to calculate LET are collected. At the end of simulation, LET mean values are calculated and stored into a file.
The Let.out file will be produced at the end of a run, where you can
find the dose and track average LET for each tracked particles (both primary and
secondary ones) and the total mean LET.
The file is structured as follows:
- The first three columns contain the voxel indexes (first index “i” refers to the beam direction);
- The fourth and fifth columns contain respectively total mean dose LET (LDT) and total mean track LET (LTT)
- The rest of columns contain LET Dose and Track for each single ion (whose name is in the top row of the file).
"
When I open, the first three columns the i, j, k indexes. Then, there is LDT, LTT, proton_1_D, proton_1_T, proton_D, proton_T, In this order.
1- Does they mean LDT, LTT for all the given particles such as proton, deuteron, He, N, O, c12? OR they mean only the primary and secondary protons together?
2- Which is the primary proton "proton_1_D " OR “proton_D” ? And the other will be the secondary protons?
3- Also, when I want to draw, Can I take some of these points or Should I take all of these points when I run for different energies of proton?
4- Also, In the Readme, the run was for 100000 events and I diid it too. Should I increase this number of events and What is your recommend, please?
I will wait your respond for my answers, please.
