The simulations were carried out by the code PENELOPE 2011. Using different histories of primary particles, for each energy beams the mean deposited energy is the same, but to achieve a statistical deviation lower than 1% the value of 10 was fixed. We find that setting the values C1 = 0.1 C2 = 0.1 and W The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access at www.chitkara.edu.in/publications.

The uncertainties (1 SD) in the specific energy increases with energy for all target sizes and decreases with target size, with values from 1.7 to 94% for 20 nm and between 0.1 and 0.8% for 10 µm. As expected, the specific and linear energies decrease with target size but not in a geometrical behavior. | URI: | http://ri.uaemex.mx/handle20.500.11799/99574 | Other Identifiers: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11799/99574 | Rights: | info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 |
