The occurred error in microdosimetry calculations while using water instead of the body organs in proton therapy and a new formula for an estimate of the statistical uncertainty of microdosimetric quantities

In many experimental and simulation researches, water phantom is used instead of most body organs. Therefore, in this study, we replaced the water phantom instead of some organs to calculate its effect on the proton stopping-power, and range and the consequence of deposited energy and microdosimetri...
