I have polychromatic proton beam for which I would like to calculate the DPA in a slab of material as a function of depth. However, it seems that on SRIM/TRIM we can only use monoenergetic beams. Is there a possible solution to this?
You can perform several simulations according your energy spectra; this procedure can be run for different slabs. Do you understand? It will be a long road until the end because of the number of simulations but it's the first thing that comes to my mind.
Best Regards!
Great! But how? I only see a place to write the particles' energy that you want, but nothing to input a spectrum.
Ok, I am saying this, perform as many "single energy" simulations as needed for each thickness. I think it may be possible to build a spectrum by tuning the simulation parameters. Does the beam have equal number of particles for each energy? Try to characterize your beam first.
My beam is already fully characterized, and no the beam does not have an equal number of particles for each energy (unsurprisingly). Already one TRIM simulation takes a decent time for a given energy, if I do 100 energy bins times 6 materials, it becomes very unpractical. That's why I was wondering if there is an option to save time here.
