Résumé

The central Gaussian shaped high dose region of a pencil beam (PB) in light ion beam therapy (LIBT) is enveloped by a low dose region causing non-negligible field size effects and impairs the dose calculation accuracy considerably if the low dose envelope is not well modeled. The purpose of this study was to calculate the practical radius, R
