Initial and general recombination in ionization chambers for proton beams

The new version features examples of how to easily calculate both the initial and general recombination in a proton beam

Including:

• Direct comparison with the Jaffé theory for initial recombination
• total recombination correction factor based on:
  • proton energy
  • polarization voltage
  • electrode spacing
  • dose rate

Recombination in a continuous beam

The cython implementation has been updated to support python3

Furthermore, the recombination in a continuous beam can now easily be computed with

• FWHM / Gaussian spread of a spot
• the beam current
• beam energy (mono energetic or spectra)
• Ionization chamber specs

Also, an example of how to run the software on a cluster with qsub and prun (parallel run) is provided.

IonTracks with Pulsed beams and energy spectra

The possibility to sampled particle parameters from energy spectra has been added
