Description:

Range table for low-energy protons in polystyrene

Usage in the offline software:

See PhotonTransport/PhotonLookupTable.h for implimentation. This table is used to look up the range of low-energy protons in polystyrene. This is used to correct for poor GEANT tracking of protons below minimum threshold that get small or zero track length.

Validation for entering new data:

Data comes from NIST PSTAR energy tables,.

Process for automated filling:

Table not updated automatically or info not available.
