Extra information

For a linear sequence of stochastic events the probability distribution for energy deposition can be calculated analytically, using multiple overlap volumes of spheres of different diameters. We have generated proton event tracks in water vapour in the energy range 0.3-1.5 MeV, by computer simulation. In these tracks we identify the inner core of events caused by direct proton interaction, and the extended part of the track caused by the δ rays. For the core and the individual δ track the number and energy distribution, as a function of target size, we determined seperately. From this, conclusions on the relative importance of the different track component, as a function of proton energy, can be drawn. An often helful classification is the applicability of the LET approximation in spherical targets. On the basis of the criteria derived by Kellerer, the calculations were extended to smaller target sizes, using realistic cross sections for the production of secondary electrons in proton and alpha tracks.
