In this second paper of a series, Monte Carlo-simulated proton tracks in water vapor are analyzed to yield a range of quantities that are of radiobiological interest. These include proximity functions of energy deposition, lineal energy distributions in micrometer and nanometer site sizes, and radial energy distributions. Many of these quantities cannot be measured with current experimental techniques. Some results are compared with those from analytic calculations. Also the effect on such quantities of the uncertainties in cross-sectional data used in the original Monte Carlo calculations is assessed, as is the effect of including nonionizing energy-loss events for analysis in the calculation.
在本系列的第二篇论文中，对蒙特卡罗模拟的水蒸气中的质子轨迹进行了分析，以得出一系列具有放射生物学意义的量。这些量包括能量沉积的邻近函数、微米和纳米尺度下的线能量分布以及径向能量分布。其中许多量无法用当前的实验技术进行测量。一些结果与解析计算的结果进行了比较。此外，评估了原始蒙特卡罗计算中使用的截面数据不确定性对此类量的影响，以及在计算分析中纳入非电离能量损失事件的影响。
