Abstract
⺠The energy loss per unit path length by protons in liquid water, PMMA and polystyrene is calculated. ⺠We use a realistic description of the target excitation spectrum. ⺠Depth-dose curves of proton beams in these materials are obtained by using the simulation code SEICS. ⺠We obtain how the dose broadens radially as the depth increases. ⺠SEICS includes the main interaction phenomena between the projectile and the target constituents.
