Abstract
The method of the invention comprises the steps of: providing a reference ion beamlet; determining in a phantom () a distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity representing a linearly-superposable effect induced by said reference ion beamlet; approximating an ion beam () as a weighted superposition of ion beamlets (), said weighted superposition comprising weight coefficients, at least one ion beamlet () being obtained by applying a roto-translation operation to said reference ion beamlet; determining a roto-translated distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity by roto-translating said distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity with said roto-translation operation; determining said physical and/or radiobiological quantities by performing a weighted superposition comprising said weight coefficients, and said roto-translated distribution of a linearly-superposable quantity.
