Energy Deposition in Microvolumes of Silicon from High Energy Proton Reactions,
Abstract
Energy deposition by reaction secondaries issuing from high energy proton-silicon nucleus reactions is calculated. The basis of the calculation formalism is geometrical probability and follows from a direct analogue in radiobiology. Chord length (Track Segment Length), differential, and integral energy deposition distribution functions are calculated along with the first two moments of the distributions. The results enable description of energy deposition in microvolumes of silicon, for example, micro-electronic memory cells. (Author)
