....However, nuclear reactions have a significant effect on the proton beam characteristics. The probability that protons will undergo a nuclear interaction whilst traversing 1 gm cm 2 is around 1 and after 20cm 1 in 4 protons will have suffered a nuclear interaction. A NIST report by Seltzer [3] and summarized by Miller [1] describes the interactions and products. Approximately 21 of the energy lost in slowing down a 250 MeV proton beam in water is due to nonelastic nuclear reactions. This fraction drops to around 4 for a 70 MeV beam. The fraction of energy converted to various ....
