| - | + | This example shows the dose distribution in water along the incident proton beam. The beam hits the water cube surface and deposits a dose under the surface of the water. The volume of the water cube is divided into slices perpendicular to the incident beam. The dose and energy deposited from the pencil beams at each slice is computed. | |
