range_to_ekin

georges_core.kinematics.range_to_ekin(r: _Q, particle: _ParticuleType = <class 'georges_core.particles.Proton'>) → _Q

Converts proton range in water to kinetic energy following IEC60601.

Examples

>>> range_to_ekin(32 * _ureg.cm).to('MeV')
<Quantity(226.12911179644985, 'megaelectronvolt')>

Parameters

• r – proton range in water

• particle – the particle type (default: proton)

Returns

the kinetic energy of the particle.
