Résumé

This work aims to investigate the changes in the linear energy transfer (LET) spectra distribution and the beam spot width of a therapeutic carbon ion beam in density heterogeneous phantoms. Three different heterogeneous phantoms were fabricated using a combination of solid water, lung, and bone tissue slabs and irradiated by a single energy carbon beam (276.5 MeV u
