Using stable distributions to characterize proton pencil beams

PURPOSE: To introduce and evaluate the use of stable distributions as a methodology to quantify the behavior of proton pencil beams in a medium. METHODS: The proton pencil beams of a clinically commissioned proton treatment facility are replicated in a Monte Carlo simulation system (FLUKA). For each...
